Hi Rustam

Was a Butler Creek synthetic stock sent to me to try for a fit with my .404 Mauser. It had come on a 1908 DWM Mauser an aquaintance was playing around and was surplus to his needs. I was keen to see if any of the synthetic stocks available for the military M98 actions would fit the standard length Oberndorf sporter actions. It appears they do although as previously mentioned, some may need opening up to suit barrel contours and magazines for larger cartridges.

The Butler Ck stock seemed quite lightly constructed, weighing about the same as my original Mauser stock which has been cross bolted in three places to prevent stock splitting. I was a little apprehensive that the synthetic would stand up to the .404 recoil without some cross bolting as well.

Cheers.
