Replacement stock for Weatherby FN Mauser

[macomber]

My friend and I are trying to find a synthetic stock for his pre-Mark V Weatherby in 300 Wby Mag. The serial # is in the 3### range so it is made with a FN Mauser action.

We are wondering if a stock made for a commercial Mauser action would work. So far I've found one review of the Hogue full bedded stock that was used by a guy to restock a gun just like my friend's.

Does any one have any input?

Thanks

Measure the distance between the rearmost guard screw and the screw located at the front end of the floorplate to determine if you have a standard length FN action or a magnum length.

Standard = 7.835"

Magnum = 8.207"

If it's a standard length action, most stocks made for a standard commercial Mauser 98 should be able to be fitted to your barreled action.

If it's a magnum-length action, your search will be a bit lengthier & costlier.
