maybe you could get a stock conversion done but off the shelf i don't know.
i'd strongly suggest he try shooting a bullpup stocked rifle before buying one as their advantages can also be disadvantages when you're restricted to a bolt action rifle. to operate the bolt you have bring your trigger hand a long way back to operate the bolt, that can present it's own challenges.

With the 2 chassis I have I can choose to shoot 308, 338, 375 or 50 which makes life a little more affordable. I'll probaby buy the 6.5x47 & 416 kits when they arrive giving me a choice of 6 calibers in 2 near identical chassis. The bull pup design was only a minor factor in choosing this particular brand.
If any of u can get to St Marys and want several shots out of either the SRS or HTI then pm me and I'll see what can be arranged. You can make your own mind up about how a bullpup stock feels.
