Other than pre-war Winchester Model 70 and Remington 721/722 stocks, any ideas for classic low comb wood stocks suitable for iron sights (bolt action)? Hoping for a more affordable / readily available option if it’s out there vs hunting on Gunbroker and paying inflated prices. Don’t want a sporterized battle rifle if possible, prefer walnut and blued.
What I’m seeing is, even if I were to take a modern Tikka T3X or Mossberg Patriot or Bergara B14 or Savage 110/Axis or Remington 700 or Sauer 100 or FN Winchester 70 or Browning A/X Bolt or Ruger Hawkeye/American etc. and cajole a gunsmith into soldering on front irons (for a few hundred dollars?) the stock is still too high and I’m crimping my neck to see through a rear peep sight.
If I want to shoot iron sights in a bolt action am I stuck trying to outbid for a pre64?
Appreciate any insights. Thanks
