Can you also post the 3DM model file of what you currently have so we can see how you are currently attempting to approach the problem?

Are you starting out with just a box in MoI for your starting shape?

For something that's really curved you probably don't want to start out with a box but instead draw in some curved profiles and then use a surfacing command like Loft or Sweep to generate a surface from those curves.

I'm afraid though that a rifle stock like that is probably going to be a fairly advanced type of project to tackle in MoI mostly because it is a more sculptured type shape and not just defined only by simple 2D profile curves. In order to make sculptured shapes you have to use a more advanced part of the toolset and do more freeform surface construction using lofts and sweeps and things like that.
