Quarter RoundRem. 700 Mountain Rifle Stock Replacement
I have a Rem. 700 Mountain rifle in a long action with detachable magazine and would like to purchase a quality synthetic drop in stock. Appreciate recommendations.

<RVB>Well, If you like the feel of the Mountain Rifle Stock (and what's not to like! Just about the best stock configuration around), you can simply replace it with a fiberglass version from McMillian. Their stocks are excellent and just about drop ins, athough bedding should be done.

Quarter RoundRVBYes, I like the configuration of the Mtn. rifle stock and would like to replace it with something close to those dimensions.
>>Johnly, I prefer not to got to the trouble of fitting a detachable magazine action to stock inletted for a blind magazine. Thanks for the offer.

NoCAL.25 round,
Damn, I was in the market for a replacement walnut stock just last year for mine. Looked all over then finally had to get one from Remington. About $400 if I remember right. Seems like McMillian didn't have the detachable mag stock at that time. Wish we could have worked out a deal back then. Why did I need a new stock you ask? First attempt at glass bedding......'nuf sed!
good luck, NoCAL

FjoldTry MPI Stocks for a hand layed glass stock. Doc probably has the one you want in stock, if not he'll put it together. I've had one of his stocks for over 20 years and it's been perfect from day one.
