I think that Bill Ruger was very smart to get very good stock makers involved in developing their stock designs and dimensions.
I imagine that Bradshaw could fill us in on those stories.

I've owned, admired and hunted with Stutzen stocked rifles for 40 years. I've had Ruger, CZ, Winchester and maybe a Remington, I'm not certain about the last. The absolute best, beyond a shadow of a doubt, has bee the real Mannlicher/Schoenauer followed very closely by Mausers, whether 96 or 98, stocked by German or Austrian gunmakers. The current American and foreign, mass produced stutzen stocked rifles have forearms like baseball bats. I love their look but when I pick up one of them and see there is a minimum of 5/32 too much wood in the thickness it's an immediate turn off. They've taken a beautiful design and made a club out of it. I don't know why they do that. There can only be one reason, money. I would much prefer to pay extra and have a slender, svelte, lively rifle as to pay for a Louisville Slugger. I have a current CZ-455FS. I really like the rifle but it's sad to see, every time I use it, all that wood needlessly left in the forearm. Then I end up getting one of my M/S rifles out just to confirm what I think I know, the old makers knew how to build a stutzen stock. I was just nosing around and saw this one. It's a rifle rather than a carbine but, it's built as should be. Heck of it is, I know all those earlier named makers are capable. Ultimately I suppose it's our fault for accepting the thick stocks. If you've ever handled a Mannlicher/Schoenauer or a finely stocked Mauser or single shot rifle, it won't need explained. images.gunsinternational.com/listings_sub/acc_401/gi_101009609/MANNLICHER-SCHOENAUER-MODEL-1910-FULL-STOCK-RIFLE-9-5X57-375-NITRO-EXPRESS_101009609_401_9CD016957798F8C2.jpg |

Well when the Lgs had a long stock # 1 it just had to be in 243 Win, I had 2 # 1s in 243, a varmiter and sporter plus A 1965 Browning/Sako.
The price was on the high side anyway, so I passed and I will find one sometime cause they are really pretty. Have a nice day Don K
