Hi Pjotr,

One of the reasons I wanted a synthetic or laminated stock, other than protecting the original, was so that I could fabricate and mount a scopemount rail to the stock. However, I am currently working on a design that would fit on the action without drilling and tapping or affecting the originality of the rifle in any way. Hence, I may now buy the Richards Microfit's Classic or Modern Classic in walnut or perhaps laminate as the style resembles the current Mauser stock.

Thanks for the reply and have a memorable safari.

Could those of you who have used Richard Microfits hardwood and laminated stocks please give me some feedback. Thanks.

Rustam
