Can anyone give me some suggestions on a good gunsmith for stock fitting in the Maryland / Delaware area. My Winchester Model 70 has been to Africa twice, and I really enjoy shooting it. I have read several articles saying that proper stock fit is important in a DG rifle. I'm not really bothered by the .375 H & H recoil, but if I can make a good rifle even better....why not before my next safari? Jack Bart in Glen Burnie, MD and Mike Del Grosso in Wilmington Delaware are 2 names I have heard good things about. One concern is that most "stock people" seem more attuned to work on shotgun stocks for competition. Would rifle stock fitting be a different skill-set? Thanks for any help.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
