fixtures to a sporter stock to make it act like a varminter??

Hi
I am having a Standard sporter Synthetic stocked Tikka white tail (595)made into a 6 BR.

Is there any way that I can add plates or sliders or other fittings or fixtures to the stock to enable the stock to act more like a varminter/BR comp stock?

I want to be able to give myseld the best chance of sighting in and assessing loads without having to get another stock for the rifle.

I an thinking of making/installing a seperate ferrule into the forearm of the stock so I can attach some flat allum plate to the forearm to enable the rifle to ride that bags on my rest better.

I am unsure how to proceed with this idea- can anyone offer some suggestions on how to accomplish this? is there a way of forming or molding the alum plate to aloow it to perform on the bags to it's best ability- while supporting the factory stock perpendicular to the plate.

I am unsure on how to add/modify the rear of the stock so it can ride a bunny ear bag to it's best ability.
I realise this will not be as good as a true competition stock -I'm trying to make the best with my limited resourses.

Hope you can help- pics would be great.

THank you

Honestly, there's only one way to get what you want. However, maybe this will help, at least with the front anyway.Forend Adapter (http://www.sinclairintl.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=04-1700&type=store)

Going along a similar line, you could install a rail on the bottom and have some crazy woodworker make you a nice wood flat section that slides on the rail and screws in place. I have some rail sections and can get more and of different profiles if need be. I made maple rail covers for my Samson rail so it would rest on bags better and not eat my hands when gripping it. They were also cheaper for ME, than ordering those rubber things, place they look kinda cool too! I'll see if I have a pic hosted on my server...

Thanks! They bolt right into the 1/4-20 holes in the rail. For a benchrest version, I could do a more square profile and recess the bolts. I would probably only use one bolt, just to secure the rest on the rail. The 1/4-20 size seems to work good, plus it is what was spec'ed on the picatinney rail! The rails I have sitting around are undrilled actually. They are right from a machine shop and two have a flat profile towards the stock and one has a curved profile towards the stock. Fortunately they are aluminum, so I can drill them if need be. I was going to mount the curved one on my Marlin M60 .22lr stock so I could put a bipod on it. I usually have a deer rifle scope on that, but I found that I am more deadly with the cheesy iron sights for some reason!

Anyways, I can run that rail cover section pretty easy out of most any wood and can cut it to whatever length too of course.
