I would like to ask for some opinions on synthetic stocks. I want to swap out my wood stock on a Rem. 700 to a synthetic. In your opinions, who makes the best over the counter stock without going to a custom built one? In case any one asks the gun will probably not see very harsh or extreme conditions. I just want to give it a new look and hopefully maintain its' accuracy. Thanks in advance.
Depending on what you are looking for (quality and features) in a synthetic stock, McMillian abd HS Precision are both very good. I have read good things about High-Tech also.
But if you are not to picky, there is Ramline.
Speaking of Ramline, I happen to have a new one for a Remington LA I'd let go cheap. Let me know if you are interested.

McMillans are great, but a bit pricey. If you are looking for extreme quality, get one! If not, look around. I have a McMillan on the way for a Rem. 700 with Decelerator installed ($386 Delivered to my door).
Just got a HS Precision stock for my Rem 700 SA and I love it. The action drops into the aluminium bedding block nicely with no mess or fuss and the gun shoots better than before. I'd never go back to wood after buying one of these. The only problem with HS Precision stocks is that they don't make one for my Sako Finnfire.

Look at Bordens. They are well made from a technical point of view and built in the best molds out there. The checkering and detail on the stocks is excellent.
