Custom wood stock recommendations

[DangerRanger]

Anyone have any recommendations for a custom wood stock builder? Looking for a tactical style with a slim forend like a manners eh1 type of shape. Long action with dbm

Get a foundation and fake the whole “wood” appearance. Much better stock and much cheaper.

I am considering them. They seem good but I can’t get totally into the fake wood thing.

+1 for the Foundation stock idea I love mine it looks incredible and feels great. It's hard to explain how it feels like it dampens the recoil.

For wood stocks, Cerus Rifleworks builds the nicest wood stocks I've ever seen or held

He's focused on mostly F Class stocks right now but he does do a Hybrid GT

I have seen Cerus and really like that stock. The forend seems a little wide for a long range hunter rifle but man it looks good

A select quilted maple or Claro walnut with a mini chassis setup like manners and KWW cheek hardware would REALLY be cool

Check out Cerus Rifleworks' website; they look very nice. I want to get their GT Hybrid for my next build. You should also look at KW Precision rifles who does excellent work and uses some of their stocks.

Jack Stanley has several cherry stocks made from his own wood.

Thanks all, ended up going with a mcwalnut from mcmillan. Haven’t seen it yet but smith says it’s a looker.

I build these, I can also do an even slimmer forend if need be!

That looks nice! I think I spoke with you when you were planning to do your first long action but weren’t offering them yet.

my mcwalnut turned out great

Looks beautiful! That rings a bell now. I got my first L/A out and I really loved it. The customer was completely in love.

I did not do enough research and built 2. In retrospect cerus would have been my go to.

Definitely need a solid wood stock as soon as work slows down. Been looking at different companies for about a year. Just need to pull the trigger. These are all so gangster lol

Cost?
thanks

Between $1,200-1,600 normally, depending on adjustable comb or not. Wood quality can also play a large factor too.
