So my father's getting up there in age. He was in the coastal militia in WW2 and work directly with the civilian Air Patrol. He still has his issued Springfield but in his old age is getting pretty heavy to pack and would like to take the Springfield and his Enfield out on a few last hunting trips.
My question is are there any good composite stocks for the Springfield and Enfield that won't break the bank but will still take a few lbs of his rifles?
We'd like to keep the stocks under $200 a piece. These don't have to be target stocks they just for hunting. Pillar bedding and free float would be nice but not necessary. Plus I can always bed and float the stock myself. I've seen Ramline and ATI stocks for cheap but I want something higher quality without breaking the bank.
The only after market composite stocks I have experience with were on 10/22's, SKS's and shotguns. I've never used one on a bolt action rifle that didn't come from factory that way.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh I guess I should add these rifles will be going back to stock configuration at some point
Thanks for any replies.
