My 400 Whelen arrived. The quarter rib was nocked off and it looks like it had been epoxied back on. Pretty disappointing. The dealer seems nice enough he apologized and is refunding me $300 of the $900 dollar purchase price.

I know need to find some one who can reattach the quarter rib and I guess refinish the rifle. The LOP is 13.25 inches so I need to get it to a lop of 14.75. Not sure if it should have a block and pad added or get restocked?

I bought this because it was a deal and I'm not inclined to put $1,500+ into the rifle but ....

Does anyone know a good gunsmith in the states that would restock it, do something with the quarter rib and reblue at a reasonable price? Not trying to turn this into a best rifle just a working thumper.
