[QUOTE="diriel, post: 729680, member: 26983"] Drop down to the Gunsmithing section of the forum and ask in there. There are several highly reputed smiths that are members of this site. Feel free to refer them to my post, if they have questions I will be happy to chime in. Rifle Stock Fit :: I have a good friend who owns a Ruger .338 win mag. He also owns a Ruger .270 win, and a 25-06 in Ruger. He is a long time avid hunter. I taught him to reload his own ammo. Part of that process was determining what all guns he had.
