I want to replace the stock on my 1-1/2 rolling block rife. I have built a few gunstocks with unfinished blanks, and I have had a few problems lately. I want wood as close as possible to what Remington used 100 yrs ago--straight grain, preferably quarter sawed grain.
I have to shoot off the bench these days, and I find that factory stocks on rolling block sporters have too much drop to shoot comfortably off sandbags. I think I need a "mid-range" pattern or something else with a high comb to use a scope and have my cheek on the stock.
Can any of you tell me where I should go to order a blank. Please share your experience. Thanks.
