What stock for Remington Seven?

I can't speak to the B&C. I have a couple of the HS Precision stocks. They are over your price requirement, but they are bulletproof.

I'll follow along in the hope someone can identify a better value than the B&C.

At $27.20 an OZ over the factory stock. I might just skip a double bacon cheese burger and fries and call it even.

+1 on the HS stocks but your looking at a 5 oz difference in weight over factory. That’s not even a decent drink.

the b&c is a nice stock for the money.

It should they should both have hinged floor plates. I don’t recall Remington offering an ADL model Seven.

You sir, need to reassess your priorities! No one should skip a double bacon cheeseburger!
Or good fries.....

Maybe that's why I'm fat.....

Anyway, I've got a Go Wild Ruger American sitting at my FFL buddies place. I'm probably going to take off the factory AI stock, and try trade for a regular mag and cash, then drop the gun in a B&C stock.

I LIKE B&C stocks, but they are rarely worth it for a light weight build.
If your willing to do the work, you can take quite a bit of weight out of a Boyd's or other wood/laminate stock.
I had a thumbhole I got down to under 2lbs. I had it on a .300 running 220s at DAYUM, and it held up to the recoil fine. I on the other hand, hated that 7.5lb gun.
Personally I think I'd spend the extra to get one of the very nice hand laid ultralight carbon stocks.

I tell you what, I have lost 62 lbs so far this year and it’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

That said my back and feet feel a lot better and I couldn’t find any other way to not carry around the extra weight. If I could have bought clothing that would have removed that much burden, I would have. Makes a couple pounds seem irrelevant.

I do miss the double bacon cheese burgers though, I won’t lie.

I hear you, I dropped down to 230 (havent been that light since highschool) a few years ago when i was on my "healthy" kick. Felt freaking AWESOME! 12lb rifle? 100lb pack? 3-6 mile hike with 1000ft of elevation change.....I got this.
Hernia, and 3 months later I was..... back above 320. Chee burguh, is how I cope....
Now im trying to get in reasonable shape again, and im failing miserably. I MAY have to let my security blanket go......

Im still considering an Ultralight M7 .250AI or 6.5CM rifle build, mostly just cause I dont have a really light rifle yet. I did some research a while back and had come up with a stock option i liked, but right now i cant remember who the maker was. If i do ill pass it along.

Im not advocating for or against but another lead to follow at 21 oz. and $330: http://www.legendaryarmsworks.com/product-p/remmod7.htm

i got a 100 + pounds on u loonwulf i make things that much harder. i have wanted to do a model seven in 7 saum for many years in stainless or do one in 458 american with sights if i ever got a magnum model seven action.

Shoot I can gain and lose 50 lbs in a summer. Takes a little cooperation from my thyroid medication, a bit of cycling, and a diet of deer burritos and water but at 200 lbs I’m a monster, at 260 I’m sluggish. The trick is an activity that keeps me from feeding my face so working on firearms or turning wrenches on old beater bicycles to restore them can keep me occupied for hours a day and sometimes a week or longer.

Back on point the one “free” means of shaving weight is paying close attention to your mounts and scope where a good half pound can easily sneak aboard without your realizing it. A nice set of Talley integrated rings and a Leupold lightweight combined with the right stock could keep you around the same weight of an as-delivered unscoped rifle.

Save your pennies and buy a McMillan Edge stock, especially on that rifle. Until then the factory stock is truly a better option.

The B&C stocks and HS-Precision are good enough stocks. If you're putting together a mid to heavy weight target gun. They weigh anywhere between 32-40+ oz. and are thick and chunky. Not what you want on a trim lightweight rifle. An Edge stock due to the manufacturing methods are much trimmer and will weigh around 20-22 oz depending on the exact style you go with.

OP,

What did you decide?

Facing the same dilemma.....Rem MOD7 .260, not thrilled with the factory stock. Accuracy is "OK" at 1.25-1.5MOA with 100 & 120 handloads would like to see if I can get it down some. Looking hard at the B&C Alaskan 2.

the B&Cs are nice for the money. the alaskan 2 does not have all the aluminum like the metalist, but the hole action has the aluminum.

That's why I'm interested in it, supposed to be a little weight savings over the full aluminum block stocks (at the 7:49 mark):



B&C is "down the road a piece" (by KS standards) so I'll give them a call. For some reason Stocky's shows the Alaskan 2 for the MOD7, but the B&C webpage doesn't.

could they be discontinued ? what color are u thinking these are nice and stiff, but fit me good they come with a very nice pachmayer recoil pad. my favorite thing is how the action beds it's sef into the action, it takes about 50 shots. after it beds u can hold the gun upside down with no screws in the action.

Looking at tan & black web, already have a green & black.

Probably going to go this route. I looked at HS (have one) and the McMillan ($$$$$) and the B&C seems about the most cost effective way to get what I'm after.

I take it you've had good results?

Summary of thread, for this late reply LOL

I didn't think the Rem factory Tupperware to be heavy.
If you stiffen the front up it adds some (use tubes in forend hollows to lessen amount of epoxy).
Did that to a couple 700 ADL synths.

Thinking HS anyway, just for kicks.
370 bucks though.

Bad back, weight 190. Need to lose 10.

I haven't messed with a Model 7 for a while.
Mine came in HS stock.
Bud's was walnut.
Does the factory synth version have the same "Tupperware" as the ADL synths (proly a 30% glass filled polyester or similar)?
I know on my 700s that stock had spots to touch the bbl at tip, and removing them then allowed to stock to flex quite a bit.
So I free floated the bbls, stiffened the stocks.
Current one I have no handloaded for, and get .75" w junk factory ammo.
My prev one (went bye bye to pay for divorce attorney years ago).........did half inch w handloads.
Both sporters. The old one I did bed the recoil lug. Current one no.

I'd try to mod the factory Tupperware. Good winter time project (Sam Adams Winter Lager would help).

I'd like one of the KS Model 7's in .35 Rem, or the custom shop lam mannlicher.
But they are crazy priced and my beater 760 in .35 rem shoots darn good.
And I'm not afraid to push the creek bottom with it.
