I'm looking for a custom stockmaker in Australia. Preferably Melbourne as I go there more often than say NSW, but other stockmakers would also be of interest.

I have a factory .30-06 in a Parker Hale 1200 Delux. It shoots extremely accurately, three shot groups as small as not much more than a single calibre hole. So I am a bit loathe to play around with it. BUT ....

It has one of those Monte Carlo type stocks. Very shiny and not really fashionable today. I used to like it when I was seventeen.

I want to re-stock the rifle to a custom classic style stock. Ebony for-end tip, straight butt with a cheekpiece. Nice grain but does not have to be exhibition grade with good checkering. Otherwise all the metal work can stay the same, even the gold plated trigger. The safety is fine. After all why change what has worked well to date.

I may consider having the action bedding screws made into a Holland & Holland takedown type system ie the sort where the barreled action can be removed from the stock quite quickly and easily for transport.

Looking for any recommendations. Thanks.
