Replacement stock for Rem 700 BDL
« on: June 08, 2006, 06:54:15 AM »
I have a 30 year old model 700 BDL 270 with the Kwik Klip conversion.  I would like to put a new plastic/glass/kevlar high tech stock on it.  I can't get the detailed info I would like from the catalogs, so am looking got a little help in finding the best choice.  Strength & weight considerations are a little more important than the lowest cost. (High strength & Low weight!)
Appreciate your thoughts!

For a right-handed Remington 700 long action your choices are almost limitless.  You mentioned synthetic, but may I suggest you also consider the Accurate Innovations line.  They make both laminated wooden and solid wood stocks that include an aluminum bedding block and Pachmyr decelerator pad.  A laminated number would be about as stable as synthetic.

Regarding synthetics, I'd go with fiberglass over plastic.  There are less expensive lines, such as Bell and Carlson, and pricier versions like McMillan, H-S Precision, Lone Wolf Stocks, Rimrock, and a host of others.  Some you can drop in yourself, others will require a gunsmith.  

Plenty of websites to browse.  All depends on what you're wanting and how much you want to spend.
