Anybody know where I can get a left handed stock for a Reminton 788? I have a 788 in 6mm that I am thinking about a rebarrel and a new stock to make it my heavy varmint rifle. | ||

Sam308 I took the action out of my stock 788 and completely tricked it out into a custom rifle. Hind sight 20-20 I woudn't do it again, it cost a lot of money. As stocks are concerned I had McMillan intall a dezert camo. A5 stock it took about 4 months and since I didn't have a factory barrel it cost extra to contour to my Pac-Nor barrel. When it arrived the safety was inletted on the wrong side so off it went again another couple of months. Off the top of my head I believe I spent around $650. According to McMillan's service dept. any Rem. 700 stock can be made to work. Lonewolf stocks out of columbia falls Mt. can also make it, excellent quality but not cheap. A lot of benchrest shooters in the 70's and 80's built their custom rigs on the 788 action due to action stiffness,fast locktime and left bolt right port design.Lee six enterprises a stock manufacturer out of san jose Ca. can build it. Check brownell's I have seen cheaper options in their cataloge in the past. The cheapest way to accurize it is to put a timney trigger on it, canjar used to make them and glass bed the stock. | |||
