Hey Zonie, How about a TC Bedford Renegade Hunter. Finally got tired of having to relocate my cheekbone everytime I shot this stock also threw in a little castoff while I was at it. When I throw it up now I'm looking right down the sights.

That has SOME radical drop to it!
If it doesn't whack your cheek when you fire it, you should be pleased.
Calling it a TC Bedford is probably going to ruffle a few feathers here because there are about 100 differences I can see without looking hard BUT, it is a interesting stock!
One thing is for sure. Nobody else in the world has one like it and the workmanship looks great!
I have seen stocks which were custom made for individuals that make yours look real normal. One that comes to mind had over 1 foot of cast in it.
My best guess is it was made for a man who liked to shoot right handed but he must have lost his right eye. With that much cast, it aligned with the left eye when the butt was on the right shoulder! He must have paid dearly because the stock work and fit was excellent.
It was a old big bore cartridge gun, and it looked like it would try to smash the shooters nose from the recoil, but, as I say, to each his own.
Happy shooting to you!

How did you do it? :shocking:
I repair a lot of stocks that get broken in half by horses and 4 wheelers so I'm familiar with that process. This one wasn't broken so I cut it apart and reassembled it. It looks to have a lot more drop because I didn't cut down the comb. I may do that later. A Southern Mt. rifle I have has the same amount of drop at heel but the comb is lower giving a different look. I shot this Renegade yesterday with a 12 ga. barrel
and it was much more comfortable to shoot than before.
