Does the Remington custom shop use Brown precision stocks?
Anyone have any experience using Brown precision stocks good or bad. I am having a 7mm rem mag built and considering a Brown precision stock. Second choice is a Mcmillian. THANKS

I have one that I have owned for 10 years or more. It has been on a .223 walk-about rifle, and is now rebedded and on a .17 Rem.. I have been very satisfied with the stock: it is very stiff, but light. It takes to bedding compounds very well. For lighting your load and still having a stiff, strong stock, I haven't seen it's equal.

i have three and am well satisfied with them, they are light. and quite stiff they do require a lot of work to get ready to paint. because of their current price if i was to want a similar stock, i would go with the basner high tech. just as light much cheaper and comes ready to paint.
hope this helps ed in idaho

Thanks for the replies. Decided to go with McMillan.

SHW - You won't be sorry! I've got 2 of them and they are light years ahead of the junk that Remington puts on their rifles! I bought a Rem 700 SS BDL in .300RUM and got rid of that plastic stock as fast as McMillian could get me one! I got lucky, McMillan had the one for my rifle on their internet specials page so I got a break on the price and didn't have to wait for it to be built. Good luck! CEJ...

You won't go wrong with a Browns stock. I took some summer classes from Chet brown, at Lassen College gunsmithing school, many years ago.
The new Remingtons are not wearing a browns stock. They aren't the only good synthetic stock on the market, but they are darn good stocks.
What makes it better for me is that I drive right by their place 4 or 5 times a week.
