replacing a stock

[silverado7]

I looking to replace the stock on my 280 REM. I've never done this before and I want to make sure I order the right one.
I'm thinking I would like a thumbhole laminate stock like a boyds one.
Here is some info on the rifle
.280 REM
Mauser action.... Stamped on the reciever is PREDUZECE 44
Shilling barrel
which one do I order?
thanks

Just give 'em that info, and don't forget to tell 'em what profile the barrel is, also your length of pull may help you get a better fit.

profile...pull?

thanks

How fat the barrel is = profile. The distance between the butt and the trigger = length of pull. - dan

I would not recommed a Boyds anyways, the one I orderd requred a lot of work to make it fit correctly. If you don't know what inleting or glass beding means you would be better off to get a gun smith to do the work for you. It is important the have the correct fit or your rifle will shoot like crap.

good to know... i do know what bedding is etc. but i have never done it,plus i think i need a crown job too. so a gunsmith might get the whole shebang!
thanks
