Inletting a stock

[Download]

I recently got myself a CZ452 17HMR and stuck a Leupold VX1 4-9x40mm on it. Wonderful rifle and I'm quite happy with how much I paid for it.

I want a new stock though, and I've been looking at the Boyds website for one. The problem though is the stock I want, the SS Evolution, isn't inletted for the CZ452 magnum action. They do however offer blank stocks and I was wondering how much it would cost to have it inletted by an Adelaide gunsmith or how difficult it would be to do myself.

Any ideas? I figure to inlet it myself I'd need to borrow a drill press at the very least.

About half way down one of the members here (DaleH) does a step by step of his whole process on inletting his Boyds

Don't worry.

I'm now thinking of drawing it up in CAD and taking it to a local place that does CNC 3D routing.

I think they would be able to inlet the stock very accurately.

Sounds like a plan.

Good luck with it.

Interesting.

Would be cool if you could post some pictures if you end up going that way.

Keen to see the result... Don't know of anyone doing it this way before.

If you did inlet it yourself don't forget you can always bed it afterwards so the fit is perfect.

Doesn't matter if it's a bit off here or there after inletting if you're going to bed it.

Just saying.

Will do, just have to wait a few weeks for the blank to arrive.

I discovered that no one in SA does inletting any more.
