Thanks all for your input, seeing as it will only be an occasional BR rifle, am really thinking of going with those who have said around a slimmer rounded stock, for the once or twice a year it will get used in BR its not worth the trouble getting two stocks, or just using a dedicated br style, I will see what I can dig up and like all my stuff, rough enough is good enough. :D I did pick up an Omark stock that is rough as guts and it has an Anschutz type dovetail rail underneath. :D

Mark i have a Hogue varmint stock inletted for Howa/Weatherby short action. You pay the postage it's yours. I have around 3 of them i will pick out a winner for you.
Bit flexible in the fore end but fill it with an alloy rail and Devcon and they stiffen up nicely.

With my 6BR build, wondering what shape/style of stock to look for, its gunna be a bit of an all rounder, live critter exploding, a bit of spotlight and a bit of playing at this long range BR stuff
Trevor, as you can see above he is building an "all rounder" a BR stock is for one purpose.

If you want to use the gun for BR and be competitive have two stocks!

Not rocket science aye.

Thanks for ideas, bit the bullet and ordered a Boyd’s pro varmint today, will just have to see how it pans out. Might look at a better stock for the little BR work it will get down the track

You have 300 other guns to shoot at critters . If you want to try br try it properly. I’ll load enough for both of us.
