First up, selling my classic sporter Mauser stock so that I don't beat it up hunting in the rough country I've moved to. I bought this as a semi inletted stock about 20 years ago. Can't remember if it was a Richard's Microfit or what. It's walnut with some good figure and knots, burl wood grip cap and ebony end cap if I remember correctly. It was on my 1912 Steyr Large Ring 98 with mil-spec trigger guard/housing that measures 8 5/8 inches overall. Length of pull is 13 inches but could be made longer with a slightly thicker pad...this one is really thin. Barrel channel measurements are pictured in the attachment below. There are a few little dings and nicks but nothing ugly. I never got around to getting the stock checkered. I also thought about stippling it myself like you see in some high end pistol grips but didn't have the guts. There are a couple small knots in the forend that have a small amount of what looks to be filler in them but it's very thin and under an inch long. They're so slight they don't really show up in the pictures.
This stock is fully epoxy bedded from the rear tang to the front of the end cap. The trigger guard area is also epoxy bedded. Action and bottom metal are a snug fit. My rifle could shoot sub 1/2 MOA if I did my part and probably better. You shouldn't need to make modifications for an adjustable trigger as I have a Bold trigger in my Mauser.
I'm asking $300 shipped as it is a very nice stock. I'll ship USPS insured.

I accept money orders and personal checks. Feel free to ask me questions via PM.
