[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3852269, member: 35036"] I did not. After doing a lot of thinking and looking, I decided it wasn’t worth it for a $600 rifle, even if its one of my favorites. To reliably get the mag well to work I would need to get a spare from ruger (not happening), get one scanned into a 3d file and 3d printed (difficult and could be pricey), or CNC machined from a 3d file (difficult and could be heavy, definitely expensive). furthermore, I would need to get the stock made, and since wood would(haha) make the rifle heavier than stock, I would probably find myself going with carbon fiber for strength and honestly, cool factor. I would then have to make sure the action was relatively straight, pillar bed it, and paint the stock. I figured it would just be too much work and investment, when at the end of the day the rifle shot well and was close enough to what I needed that I could modify it. I adjusted the cheek weld with a decent stock bag/cheek riser, put an LVPO on it, and learned to love it. I honestly hadn’t even considered a stock since getting things adjusted. What are you looking to restock? [/QUOTE]
