Good replacement rifle stock seller?

[Rom828]

I'm looking to re-stock my Savage 99 lever action. I've found the correct replacements being sold at Macon gunstocks and gunstocks inc.com . I realize that I'll have quite a bit of fitting to do and that's OK. Anyone out there had good or bad dealings with either company? Thanks in advance for any advise.

rc, are you out there?

I've heard bad things about both, I would check ebay, Ive seen some nice figured 99 stocks come and go

Rom828, I purchased two stocks from Richards Microfit, after I received them I contacted Richards Micro fit to inform them I thought I could train wood peckers to do a better job.

Try Boyd's to see if they have them?

Boyds doesn't list the stock I want. Savage used about six different stocks. I don't expect perfection. I want decent wood roughed out so that I can finish the inletting, cut within 1/8" so I can make the stock fit the steel.

Rom, I fit a Richard's and while the wait was triple the advertised time without any communication, the stock I received was nice, albeit cut wrong. I adjusted the inletting for my trigger guard and all was well. The wood was definitely not in finished condition, 100 grit to 320 required.
