Are you looking for a wood blank or something that has been machined?

Try this guy. Im talking with him at present. You will need to find someone todo the checkering. But looks like a nice option which I’ll be using in the future.

Looks very nice.
I assume you bought it unfinished and 98% fitted?

 

[Sideshow]

No @Ivorygrip I brought the rifle at Holts then chucked the old stock and barrel. New barrel. Jewelled the bolt. Then brought the blank had a stocker do the barrel fit, shape, horn, I did the the checking and finishing.
My next one I’ll get him to also do the checking. As I want rap around. I’m not that good at it.
Rifle before
