drop in stocks
#50651 - 23/02/06 02:38 PM

I am looking at a laminated stock for my winchester safari express. This stock has an aluminum bed that the action bolts directly to, eliminating the cross bolts and the need for glass bedding. The wrist area has a titanium pin inserted for strength. For the cost of having the original stock comb lowered and re-finished, this other stock option sounds promising. Any thoughts or direct experiences out there with something like this?

Would this be the Accurate Innovations stock?

If it is, then the stock I have got from them is pretty high, as it should be for a scoped rifle that won't see its irons used. This doesn't sound like what your looking for so double check which pattern will suit you.

Also the standard checkering just doesn't cut it. it is too shallow and too far apart and neither looks good or provides any grip. You will need to consider upgrading the checkering if it the Accurate Inovations stock you're looking at.

Lowering the comb and refinishing shouldn't cost a bundle. Add in bedding and maybe a cross bolt and I can see what you're thinking though.

Yes it would. They will drop the comb/stock as much as I would like. I have a Ruger .350 rem mag with one of their stocks. Very nice! I like the look of the fish scale checkering, but I agree that a good, sharp checkering job would provide a better grip. They also say that the barrel lug would need to come off. The aluminum bed provides all of the structure/strength that the stock needs.

Bushy,

The stock I got didn't have the fishscale checkering. Maybe that is the lower cost answer to improving the checkering.

Its out of my league when it comes to answering whether the stock will be fine w/o the recoil lug. I would be inclined to go with whichever route you really want, the refinish or the Accurate Innovations. I don't think Ben there would steer you wrong.

You remind me that I need to call him. The stock they sent me was standard length but was suposed to be longer. He is suposed to be replacing it.
