Stock for Mauser 98 build

[KentuckyWindage]

I’m trying to find a stock for a custom Mauser I’m building. I’ve started with a standard 98 Mauser action, standard military trigger guard, and a #5 contour barrel in .416 Taylor. I am mainly interested in a walnut stock but may settle for a fiberglass stock. Does anyone have recommendations on where to get a walnut sporter stock for such a rifle?

If you’re planning on doing some inletting and finish work yourself, then check out a semi-inlet stock from Richard’s Microfit Stocks. I’ve had great results with their stocks. They offer a 95% inlet stock for most all rifles and a 98% press fit inletting for a subset of them.

Thanks Doug, I did plan on finishing the stock myself. I do have a little bit of experience inletting so that won’t be an issue. I’ve had issues with other stocks having large gaps between metal and wood, mainly brownell’s wood plus series stock.

I have several patterns for many sporterized Mauser models. Several with thumhole, different combs and forearm styles. Prices vary by style, tips and caps, your wood or mine. This is one I just finished up for a K98 re-chambered

to 250/3000.
