I paid $960.00 for my brand new McMillan stock through Dean Maisey, and that was at his old price (it is a McWoody, a black and brown mcswirly, designed to mimic Walnut). Dean had been advertising it on Trademe for close to a year with no takers, till I took it off his hands.
Dean Maisey advised me that any new McMillan stocks he brings in will be an extra $250.00 above the price I paid. Don't know what Deadeye Dicks would charge, but can't see them being any cheaper.
One solution is to find someone who comes down to NZ from the US on a regular basis.
Speaking of bedding, I gave my rifle to Wills Hunting & Fishing in Kumeu to send to their Gunsmith down to Rotorua for both bedding and fitting into my McMillan Stock. He charged me $200.00 to do both jobs, and the price also included freight both ways.
So yes, $500.00 for a bedding job is a rip off!
