Thinking of changing the stock on my 700 SPS 243 but need to check a couple of things:- What does an BDL style SA synthetic stock weigh? Is the barrel profile on the 700 classic the same as a 700 SPS/stainless synthetic? What does a 700 classic wood stock weigh? More simply will my barreled action fit and how much more will it weigh? Also could get a 700 titanium take off stock - what are these like? | ||

I have no idea on the weights, but the SPS in 243Win will have a normal "sporter profile" with a ~.625" muzzle diameter. You should be careful on getting a "classic" or "titanium" stock, as in either case you could have a more open barrel channel.... the RSAUM and WSM calibers all use a slightly fatter "Magnum" profile. In the titanium rifle EXCEPT for the WSM/RSAUM calibers all calibers use a slimmer "Mountain rifle" profile with a .550" muzzle diameter. So in most cases you'll need to do some adjustments to the barrel channel inletting. I think people get too wrapped up in lightweight rifles. If you really NEED to save a bit of weight cut out the cheese burgers. AllanD If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day! Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame. *We Band of 45-70er's* 35 year Life Member of the NRA NRA Life Member since 1984 | |||
