"It's mandatory your gun fits you well to accomplish top scores. With adjustable combs, recoil pads, and length adjustments, Mark Deprez custom stock work will give you a total fit to your body frame size." - Sam Astuto

Mark's reputation on the skeet and clay target circuit is solid—customers regularly drive 2-3+ hours for his adjustable comb and recoil pad work. He has the equipment to do it right: owns a metal working lathe and a 2,300 lb. vertical mill, allowing him to fabricate custom tools and parts. This capability means precision work that fits your specific gun and body frame.
