Kimber WSM Project questions

I have a Kimber 8400 WSM Montana chambered in 7mm WSM.
I dropped the gun while hunting and cracked the montana stock at the rear reciever screw.
So now I'm trying to decide where to go from here. I cant seem to find a replacement stock.

So my primary questions are:
-Are there any compatible inlets to the 8400 WSM reciever? It's longer than short action but not long action.
-Something that has the same spacing on reciever screws and recoil lug that I could relieve a little and epoxy bed?
-Are there any chassis that accept this reciever or compatible with slight modification?
-Are there any good prefit barrels for 8400?
-Are there any other manufacturers prefit barrels with same tennon thats compatible with 8400?

Ive been researching this for a couple weeks now and I'm not really getting anywhere with it. Any help is appreciated.
 
I have emailed with kimber about getting a replacement montana stock. They are looking to see if they have any more as they have discontinued them. That's the only info I have from kimber.
 
It's most likely able to be repaired. There is a guy that specializes in repairs, I just can't remember his name. I'm sure someone will post it up. He sells repair kits too.
 
 
OutKast Arms has what you are looking for. They are not cheap and do it all from scratch, the bedding and all. They are in W.VA. and were from Melvin Forbes designed stock. They do replacement stocks for Kimbers. World Class products. You get what you pay for. God rest his sole, Mr. Forbes. He made some great rifles.

Hope this helps,

Oregunsmithing in Pendleton Ore is another option. His Carbon fiberstocks are about what others cost.
 
MPI said they could make replacement equivalent for $925 complete restock. finished and bedded stock $825.

Im going to check into some of these repair places and see what they can do with my existing stock.
