Hi Rookyshot,Hi Everyone
If you were going to have a bespoke stock made for your sporting clays gun, who would you commission to do this and why would you choose them?
Many thanks in advanced for any insight you could share.
This was what I ended up from Manuel Ricardo in the above link. £2K for the stock and forend, plus travel expenses. Got the oil finish on it from Matt Hannaford of Gloss Gun Stocks on Facebook.Hi Rookyshot,
I've not had any personal experience of custom or bespoke stocks, however I found the thread below really insightful.

These guys are definitely on the short list for me, their work looks great.A lady friend who shoots an F3 had a custom stock made for her went here https://www.midlandsgunservices.com/custom-stocks .
And it works very well for her as well as lowering the recoil compared to the Blaser stock.

How much? I know it's taboo, but ball park figures help a lot with deciding where to go.A lady friend who shoots an F3 had a custom stock made for her went here https://www.midlandsgunservices.com/custom-stocks .

Tim does exceptional work but is just getting over a major operation. I expect he’s itching to get back into it again though.You might remember Tim Greenwood who used to write in clay shooting magazine and wrote about stock fitting / making, might be worth a look
Not sure how much he's doing at the moment, saw something on Facebook a few months ago about him going in for an emergency bypass.You might remember Tim Greenwood who used to write in clay shooting magazine and wrote about stock fitting / making, might be worth a look
I think it was about £1500, but if there's a problem they are in this country.How much? I know it's taboo, but ball park figures help a lot with deciding where to go.
I hate going somewhere with no chairs or a handy de fib machine when the tell you how much. I like to be prepared
That's a significantly different price to what they quoted me over the phone a few years ago. Infact it was over double that for stock only with no adjustable comb.I think it was about £1500, but if there's a problem they are in this country.
Six years ago.
Mine was about 18 months ago. £2k for just the stock. Didn't need to change the fore end and they made a great job of matching it.How much? I know it's taboo, but ball park figures help a lot with deciding where to go.
