    Grunta, if it comes to it you could buy the spare stock of this guy:

    Browning A Bolt 270 | Trade Me

    Not sure if your rifle is long or short action though.

And in theory, getting a bedding job done weather it needed it or not shouldn't harm anything.
    This might be of interest after the roar.

    UPDATE Guys,

    Recieved the rifle back today. And..................not happy!! will send him an email soon.

    As soon as I loosened the front action screw you could feel the action/barrel move instantly - same as the rear. Also it literally fell out of the stock with no effort whatsoever and from the research I've done it should be a nice snug fit which it isn't.

    I'm not even going to bother sighting it in, as I really think it'll be a waste of time. One week before the start of my 4 weekends of enjoyment and I have no rifle that I can depend on. I guess it's time to send it to someone who really knows what they're doing.
