Foreign stock. Philippines? Turks?

I've been to more than one rifle match where hopeful competitors are hogging wood out from under their buttplate with a Forstner bit to make weight. Problem is, you have to take out a lot of wood to make up for a heavy barrel! Probably doesn't pertain to this rifle, however.
