Default filling and sanding a stock

Just received my Wild Cat stock for my Rem 600 build. I was wondering what the best filler everone was using? Kinda looks like a bondo type filler from the pictures I've seen, but not exactly sure what was being used.
Thanks.

Body filler and glazing putty.

I have used bondo brand filler on many, but much prefer a product called "icing" it's similar, but in my opinion nicer to work with, and lighter. I don't use glazing compound anymore but it works well for pin holes if they are a problem for you.


They are really easy to work with, and excellent quality.

Default Wild Cat

Thanks guys. Stewart is a really good guy, turn around time was fast, price was as cheep as it gets and as for the little M7 stock..... I think you have to put it in a vice to get it to flex! The material he uses is very easy to work with so far. Have I mentioned the weight yet? Wow! Almost to light. With the barreled action in the stock the balance point is three inches down the barrel. Gives me some room for a nice pad.

I have turned a couple RH stocks into LH using 3m polyester putty,lighter weight than bondo..has worked for me.
