I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but a friend asked me, so I'll throw it out here. Is the model 7 stock the same as a short action 700? He has a youth model 7 for his son (7mm-08), who is getting grown up now and needs a full size stock on it. He is wanting to order one but is having trouble finding what he wants.

Any suggestions to a decent synthetic stock? He says all he can find are the cheap ones that are flimsy.

It is not the same.

Thanks Jim. Out of curiosity, what is different about them?

The Model 7 is a wee bit shorter than the short action 700 and the stock is proportionately shorter, it gives a more balanced appearance and the overall package is very nice to handle. The Model 7 and the 7mm-08 seem to go together.
