I just got the bug to shoot benchrest, I got a new Model 70 in 223 Win. I would like to make it into a gun for me for a while then hand it down to my wife eventually. I would like a new stock for it. Most of the ones I have seen that I like need to be inletted, I have modest skills and a lot of patience, Is this something I could do myself? I am a custom painter as well so if I screw the finish up a little, that does not matter. I plan on a killer paint job. I am going to go with a Jewell trigger and thats about it. I realize this gun may never be a competitor but I feel it is a great start none the less. Is there anyone who sells damaged or scratch and dent stocks because I plan on a total makeover anyway. These are a lot of questions but I am new to this and would like to hear some different opinions. Thanks in advance!
