have a 721 that i dearly love, but the stock is getting a bit long in the tooth. any sugestions on stock maker , how much difference is there between it and rem 700... was really looking for old wetherby style to match another favorite

It shouldn't be that difficult to find someone with a M-700 stock to let you trial fit your 721 to it. I think it can be made to fit nicely and maybe you can even fit Rem 700 bottom metal to that M-721 and stock as well!

If you're interested I have a fairly decent M-721 takeoff stock with decelerator attached and a walnut root wood forend tip. Darn things just aren't scope friendly!

There have been many 721 and 722 rifles placed in 700 stocks. If your 721 is an early model you may have to inlet the barrel channel for the "dogknot" rear sight hump. 700 BDL bottom metal also requires inletting. As for finding a Weatherby style stock you may have to go the "Custom" route.

It's pretty easy to put a take off 700 stock on the 721 and the BDL bottom metal will work fine. [IMG:top] [/IMG] A little wood removal around the safety and the site boss on the barrel. You may have to do a little filing on the magazine box depending on its configuration to make it fit properly

hay thank you all for the responces,, thought it would work,, but after a terreble glass bedding accedent was afraid to cut the stock off and then not have a replacement.... darn thing sure shoots well, but decided to glass bed the stock to make it a little better.. should of read the directions on the acruglass a little better and then not been in such a hurry to try... thanks again,.KHH
