#2 contour barrel into a #4 contour stock

[hevishot]

Good morning all. My question is will a #2 contour fit into a #4 contour stock? Is it just a matter of a wider barrel channel or are there other differences? I guess I am asking could I get away with it? It is my understanding the the #4 is 1/5" wider at the tip of the forend. How out of place would it look? Thanks.

The #4 is a much larger chanel if I am correct. The higher the number, the bigger the barrel size!

The gap in the channel would be huge not to mention most likely a difference in the receiver as well, but that's beyond my knowledge. A 2 contour barrel would swim in a 4 contour, IMO it would look terrible

If you have an accumark by chance which is a 3 - pull it and put on a deluxe and you'll get a picture of just how much bigger a 4 would be.

What are you looking for in a stock? Someone here might have one, including myself;

Not only is the barrel channel alot wider the forearm portion off the stock is wider and feels bulky conpaired to a #2 contour stock.

A good question is what caliber are you talking about? Is it a 6 lug action?

It would be for a 300 weatherby mag 9 lug lazermark with a busted stock. I have a new lazermark stock 5 panel #4.

Are you looking to purchase the 300 with a broken stock in hope that yours will fit?

If the deal was good enough that I could get a replacer stock which can be had even with a synthetic version, but wooden stocks can be found as well.

Yes. that is the idea. That my lazermark stock will fit. I am going to take the stock to a local gun shop and try it on a weatherby with a #2 contour.

If interested I have some deluxe stocks that would fit it i'm sure just ping me -

A solid 300 is a hard one to beat;

Did you try it out yet?

Did you try it out yet? 

Yes. The stock is way to big. Doesn't look right. I guess I will just sell the stock. Anybody interested in a New old stock 5 panel left hand lazermark #4 contour stock?

Another option would be a carbon fiber wrapped barrel, might be an interesting combination.
