Stock is
now fixed. I want to thank Bill from the WOOD JOYNT for his classy service

. It even helps when the man is a GUNNUT himself. He did it for me at no charge.

I owe him one.
"Sell the junk stock
I had one.
Same problem.
Decided not to fix it. No warranty. Will not get another one from them.
Sell it.
Get something that works.
Jeff"
Jeff, I agree with you I will not get another. I liked the concept of it being inletted for the 452 but that far out. Since it is fixed I am going to use it for now. It looks pretty good actually. I will not need another because if I do another rimfire build it will be full blown race rimfire build.
"Calvin,
My friends and I have dealt many times over the years with Don Stith and his service has always been top class. If you're not happy with your stock, you should definitively call him: I'm sure he will fix it for you or he'll get you another one.
Did you order your barrel directly from the Benchmark ?
Regards,
Paul"
Paul I believe that he is a top notch guy from the chats I had B4 I received the stock. He screwed up on the first one when he made it and informed me. He made the second one and it was shipped. The problem being out of square.
I am not going to bash but I for the life of me cannot see how something like that could be overlooked and sent out.
In regards to shipping it back for another, we live in Canada. You and I know it is a PITA to get this stuff. I am not about to waist more months waiting to get another to solve the problem. It is just a piece of wood that with some careful milling and some sanding it ended up turning out OK.
I ordered the barrel directly. I will leave it at that.
