I’m looking at restocking my Ruger No.1 in 458 WM if financially/competently feasible. I have some woodworking experience, but mostly home/farm maintenance based, and no fine woodworking experience, and currently no tools.
What is the process for getting a custom stock made? I would like to hear about any experience with getting the stock made and doing final fit DIY style, as well as getting the stock fitted professionally.
What is the expected cost from start to finish? If I go through with it, I wouldn’t want something too fancy, but just good looking dense wood.
Is final fit “easy enough” for someone with minimal experience?

I'll take the 375 bullets. I'm not a techie, so I can do USPS money order or Paypal?
