Where can I find those "stocks" that are use to demo/display scopes?
You see them in use at places like Bass Pro and Gander Mountain. I would like to have some for my store as we sell a lot of scopes and it would help the buyer get a better feel for the scope. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. |

I imagine your distributor should know.

Crazy idea, but you know Gander is going out of business. They might sell you some.

Man, I just spent about 10 mins looking for ya. Nothing but an old listing on eBay where a guy was selling like 8 for $50.
Like the other poster said, try scoring some from a closing Gander Mountain store. |

I did look at some of those stocks at my closest Gander Mountain, which is about 100 miles away. They were in pretty rough shape from a few years of being on display and I think you had to buy the whole scope display, which was some raggedy Center Point scopes. I might look at another Gander if I come across one the next time I am in Texas or Texarkana, AR.
The bootom line is, some company makes these because every major retailer has them. I just need to find out who it is. I saw some pretty nice ones when I went into one of the new Field & Stream stores in Austin, TX, a couple of months ago. |

Most of the ones I have seen look suspiciously similar to 10/22 stocks.
Maybe you could grab a few factory stock take offs, and some marine rubber pole clips: 
...and make your own? |

barrysuperhawk those look great!
I came up with another similar idea using the clamps that are design to hold brooms and mops on the wall but your idea is much more simplistic. I will look at the marine supply shop the next time I am over there. Thank you very much! |

I just mounted a picatinny rail to a block of wood, and then mounted that block to a beater Garand stock.
People grinned at me at the range when I set it in a rest, but it worked real well. ETA: The scope has to be mounted in rings--dunno if that is a deal-breaker or not for a shop. |

I've gone down this road a little. If you can find the rubber hardware to suit you, Boyd's would sell you stock blanks. This would give you a flat spot on the top for mounting your hardware.
