I have an 8X51S with a Kurz action. Unfortunately, someone decided to shorten the stock to a point just in front of the rear Schnabel. By some miracle, I managed to locate and acquire an intact S stock inletted for a Kurz action, which I plan to replace the shortened stock with. Because the barrel on the original rifle is about 1" longer than the stock, I will need to have it shortened to fit, and I'm still debating with myself about which gunmaker to entrust with the task.
