   Appears 77 Rugerish to me but I’m far from an expert. Can you nail down the manufacturer of it ?

   looks to me like a Remington 700 action would fit in that cut-out.

   Looks like one I bought from Richard’s micro fit in California. They’d know for sure

   It looks to me like some sort of aftermarket stock for a Mauser variant. It doesn’t match any of the ‘common’ actions listed at http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/content/Boyds/CustomPages/FAQ_actionlengthguide.htm but Mausers are incredibly diverse. How does the back of the bottom plate attach to the stock? The screw hole for the tang at the rear doesn’t seem to bolt through.

     ” The screw hole for the tang at the rear doesn’t seem to bolt through.”

     That’s bugging me too. Haven’t seen that before.

   Its clearly a bolt action, and not a rimfire from the size of the magazine well opening. The tang is too short to be a mau, too narrow to be weatherby, the wrong shape for a savage, a marlin, or a mossberg. Few mfrs offered thumbhole stocks new so i think its probably a restock, esp. With the apparent dremel work. A very old. Sako?

   Let’s try narrowing it down:
   1. It is not a Ruger 77 Stock. The front screw on those is at a 45 degree angle.
   2. It is not for a Remington 700. Those do not have the rear tang recessed into the stock as the above example does.
   3. It is not a Weatherby Mk. V for the same reason it is not a 700.
   4. It is not a Howa 1500/Vanguard. I’m holding a Howa stock as I type this and the rear tang contours don’t match up.
   5. It is not a Browning A-bolt. There is no room for the tang safety and no cut out for the bolt stop.
   6. It is probably not a Mauser of any sort because it has no bolt stop cutout.
   7. It is not an Arisaka, see above.

   My best guess is a CZ 550. The rear tang seems to match up pretty well and it its stock is relieved for the “fence” around the magazine on the underside of the action. I’m not promising anything, though.

   Hmm I see two possible answers ….

   It looks like a Sako action to me … But without actual measurements it would be hard to say for sure.

   The other action that looks like it might fit but I’ve never seen one with a thumbhole stock is a Lee Enfield. I read somewhere that a firm in Canada was taking the best shooting ones and making good spotters out of them with fancy target stocks.

   Just eyeballing it though . . . And the band at the wrist if the stock is missing. So . . .

     Only if they’re milling the action down.

       Yea they clean it up.

         The wrist band contains too much of the structure of the gun, I doubt anyone would do that (though lord knows people do dumb things). The bolt on an enfield is behind the centerline of the trigger, almost in line with the rear of the trigger guard. This stock, the bolt notch is almost in the center of the trigger opening. That and the length of it is fairly consistent with a ruger 77, except the bolt notch is too narrow, I think. Plus, if someone were going to the trouble to restock an older rifle the odds are good it was a military rifle to begin with.

           Pulled my Ishapore Enfield and the bolt cut out is not in the rear of the trigger cutout. Back 1/3 but not in the middle either so scratch that.

   Any chance of getting a picture of the belly?

   As someone noted, probably Richard’s or Boyd’s. Ask them.

    1896 Mauser or Mexican ’98 short action? I can’t remember the name but didn’t the Mexicans make some kind of mutant M-1903 / M-98 short action 7 MM or .30 cal. hybrid around the second Mexican revolution /WW-1 time period?

    Aren’t you supposed to buy the rifle first, and THEN buy the aftermarket stock?
