So I traded a junk car(that I got for free) for this XPR. Wanted to get my son a rifle of his own for a while but couldn’t decide on what to get so I gave him the XPR just for something to call his own and show me he could take care of it. The idea was more “Prove to me you can handle the responsibility and we will talk about a nice rifle later.” Well he’s sentimental and stubborn. He killed two caribou with it this year and doesn’t want to give it up. Wants to make it nice....er. So I’m looking at trying to find a stock that’s not a true blank but raw enough that we can finish and oil it together. Recently this site, (rifle-stocks.com) was brought to my attention by way of another thread posted on THR. I don’t see the XPR in the action list so I’m curious what the inletting might cost if I had a smith do it locally. It may be obvious but I’m not willing to throw a lot of money at this rifle. I mentioned Boyd’s laminate and he doesn’t like the look and I haven’t heard good things about there hardwood stocks. Any other options? Smaller companies maybe?I’m all about supporting small business’ that aren’t as well known.
