Sorry for the wonky worded subject title. I've got a really nice late 70's Interarms Mark X Whitworth rifle in .300 Win Mag with its original stock cracked. Looking for suggestions on a good rifle stock supplier/Smith who I can ship the action/barrel to for a quality Walnut stock. Any ideas? Please move this if not in the correct area of the forum. Thank you!

I think Boyd's or other pre-insetted stock would be your only practical choice. Getting a Custom Walnut Stock made for your rifle by a reputable stock maker would cost 10x plus times the value of your rifle.

Richards Microfit offers a "99% Fit" Inlet. My past experience with them was quite a while back but my experience with them was that they needed a significant amount of handwork to proper bed and fit their stocks. I was very happy with some of the wood I got with them back in the day but I did quite a bit of work to finish them.

McMillan and other synthetic stock makers offer inlets for the Mark X but with the quality ones you are going to end up spending more on a good stock than you could buy a whole new rifle for. If you are simply wanting a good rifle for hunting a new Tikka, Bergara or others is going to be less expensive and more accurate than a Mark X.

If the Mark X has a lot of sentimental value to you it's all up to you on what you can afford and want to spend.

FWIW this was originally a Richards Microfit stock in Weatherby inlet with a Rosewood forend and Monte Carlo Comb. A couple hundred hours of work later it ended up like this.......

Why not fix it yourself? Drill a hole at the end of the crack so it doesn’t expand, sand it down, fill with epoxy, and sprinkle on some of the saw dust to help it blend in better and lightly sand again before finishing

Not sure how bad the defect is, sounds like a ‘shooter’ rifle?

One of the best deals I bought over the years was a Browning BAR, 243 with a cracked, almost broken wood stock. I fixed it myself, then added a camo paint job. I looked on Utube for fix suggestions.

Yes, you can buy a new stock, but give a little consideration to fixing what you have.
