[QUOTE="Allen, post: 133432, member: 389"] R E, the 243 is a short action rifle cartridge, and as such it seems to be only the short actions that tend to get put into the shorter length of pull rifle offerings at the factories. I really like the 25-06 and have been shooting that rifle for some 24 years now. It's put a lot of deer in the freezer. I guess I am just now learning something I had never noticed before. The suggestion is a valid one, take the current stock and cut it down. It's a fairly inexpensive synthetic stock that I put on the rifle a few years ago, and would probably have to verify first that it doesn't have a hollow end to where I'd be cutting into a void and have nothing left to mount a recoil pad to. The original wood stock developed a crack near the barrel groove and ended up producing a wandering aim point. I just thought this wouldn't be such a darn big deal. Buy a new, shorter stock and swap it out. Guess I was wrong. :;:huh [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] p.s. There are some really nice adjustable stocks out there in the $500-800 range, but that seems like a bit too much when I can get a whole 'nother bang stick for the same price, or less. [/QUOTE]
