I'd love a Walther stock like that for my Dominator.
The more I look at the Ataman, the more I like the idea of using the 'chassis' design, but in laminate. I have no idea if it is lighter and it obviously has its restrictions, but it looks cool.

Wouldn't really apply Neil, European actions generally need setting down in to the stock the opposite. Then add on the extra for higher scopes.
Trying to think who it was that came up with that stock design last two years, may have been a Spaniard.
What I like about the stocks are they are so quick and simple to make realistically should be 30% cheaper than conventional.

If a jobs worth doing, do it right or not at all.

That's a very good point Jon.
There is significantly less work and less material required, albeit the grip, cheek piece and fore end still need to be made, but really only the grip is complex.
Hmmm, maybe a thought for the future for my ISP.

Been thinking ways to make stocks cheaper for some time excluding over head routers and set patterns.
Slower by mill if had the mill used to use 18 years ago Mikas I could do in 1hr top whack, stock fixings in, cheek adjusters ready to fit in, pistol grip done, forend the lot ready for sanding. This only leaves made out in bulk the butt pad, adaptor/butt length adjuster, pistol grip attachment, cheek adjuster, trigger guard and forend fixings £200 plus cost of wood call it £50 and an hours labour. Then x amount of hours sanding and finishing the easy bit.
Same mill above XYZ/942 running 3000 rpm on fast traverse done Ripley stocks from massively long planks cut off and angled, 3" wide rough shaped properly inletted with fixing 17 mins. Routers much quicker.
Design the stock with a view how to make quick, the only downside on mill is getting that top curvature probably better off done with a jig.
If have a copier or over head router it can do the lot in one go guaranteeing inlet done right usually an after thought by 95%+
