Looking for a vertical grip wood stock

I’m wondering if there’s anything out there like the Cz 457 MTR stock for a R700 platform. The specific features I enjoy most are the vertical palm swell grip and short grip to trigger distance. I have done some looking around and haven’t really found anything that gets you a vertical grip as close to the trigger except for the foundation centurion (not wood, but still a possibility if nothing else comes up)

I really prefer the look and feel of a wood stock but would like to get closer to the ergonomics that a chassis provides compared to a traditional sporter rifle stock.

The rifle is mostly used for local level comps and target shooting. Any insight would be appreciated
 


There is also another thread that I am unable to quickly find where a talented Hide member uses a duplicator and has made several stocks.

Would be a cool project and then it would be just what I want.

Thanks for the inspiration

Seems like there’s not a lot of non custom options
 

I bought the Euromatch adjustable in BDL.
Opened the floor plate enough to install a Magpul magnum bottom plastic.
Took about 5 minutes. (That's on me)

The butt pad has a height adjustment bolt that is flush with the center of the butt pad.
You can feel it when you shoulder the rifle. WTF?
I replaced the butt pad, so I lost the verticle adjustment.

I removed the cheek piece so I could laterally adjust it. I had to modify it to allow movement. Otherwise it would move, in total, about the thickness of a nickle... That's adjustable?

Installed the barreled action and had to open the channel to accept the bull diameter barrel. (That's on me)

Since it had a pair of sling studs, I finger tightened a Harris bipod for the time being.

Got to the range and realized the bipod had not been tightened, so I took a quarter out of the van and gave it a little spin.
The stud pulled free of the stock forend.

Well, that was enough for me. Had my buddies W-3 in the van so I swapped it out and haven't looked back.

That was in September.
Was rooting around in the garage yesterday and noticed the stock on my work bench.
I wonder if I should give it another chance.
A few minutes here and there, and I can install an ARCA on the bottom. Then I wouldn't need to worry about sling studs pulling free.
It would only take a little more money thrown at it, and I could finally use it.
Of course, I would probably want another long action to fit it. Then a trigger, a scope, a barrel, and brass, and dies, and bullets, and, and, and.

I can see why some guys just throw shit away
