Hey guys.

I need help i'm chasing a stock for my rem 700 sps varmint! I really want a Mcmillan but i can't find/decide on one i like. I have only seen picture so they might look different in real life (you know how photos don't do some things justice). I really like the look of the H-S Precision PST012 (rem police stock) but have heard mixed reviews about H-S stocks and can not find a bad word about the Mcmillan except the price but thats fair(price we pay for quality). Do Mcmillan do a similar stock. So after all that i'm interested which model Mcmillan stocks u guys would recomend/use? And maybe some photos to get a different angle/perspective and see them mounted on a rife would be cool to.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I am also looking for stock options for my CZ 527. Most of my shooting is done out on a little hill top in the tall grass off a bipod and the standard wood stock really isn't comfortable for long periods scoping for predators and pigs. Any thoughts?

You can go as crazy as you want. Here's the route I went with my Savage. http://www.204ruger.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8569

They make the same stock for Rem 700s too. I almost went with the Bell and Carlson medalist. I think it'd work nice for what you guys are after. I handled a Choate today, it was pretty cool as well.

Good luck and be sure to show us some photos of before and after!

The best stock for the CZ 527 Varmint is the HS precision or Bell and Carlson. The best deal i have found is actually on the CZ usa website. The last one i purchased was an HS precision from CZ for $285 shipped. They still have them available on the website. Here is the link: http://shop.cz-usa.com/P-19900/Kevlar-S ... rmint.aspx

Don't take it too personal, but we're purty picture-oreinted around here.......



We're also fond of AI stuff, so dig out that camera buddy!

getting the hand of pictures now hope you like the green is the accuracy international

I love those AI stocks, soooooooooo tacticool (and functional).

I, too, went with the B&C Medalist A1 Tactical stock on my stainless SPS. Perfectly adequate for my needs. And spending any more wouldn't have justified not just buying a Rem. 5R Mil-spec rifle in the first place!

GREAT LOOKING RIFLES!! Pics not too shabby either. Thank you sir.

I'd love to re-stock my 527 Varmint, but it shoots so well right now that I'm afraid to change anything. Last week at the range it put 5 39gr BK's through one hole at 100yds...don't know if it will do that every time but that's still good enough for an off the shelf gun.

As the fellow posters above, I just bought a Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist M40 Style Series 1000 (SKU# 1000) stock for a new new build on a bare Remington 700 SA action (Brownell's has the bare short actions for sale again at $370). These stocks are direct replacements for many Remington models including the SPS. Consider that Cooper uses a B&C stock on the Phoenix, and Nosler uses them on the M-48 custom rifle. They have a full aluminum bedding block that runs into the fore end and grip for rigidity. The stock that arrived appears to be well made and ready to use, or can be skim bedded. An additional feature is that the recoil lug mortise is made to fit thicker Remington target type recoil lugs without machining the aluminum block. Price was $258.24 including 2nd day UPS from Stocky's Stocks. I have used McMillan stocks and while they are good, one has to decide if the expense and wait is offset by any gain in advantage. On a Remington 700 action, I doubt the McMillan will perform any better.

On this build I'll forward the action to Greg Tannel to have one of his new double pinned recoil lugs for stocks with a bedding block installed. While he has it, I'll have the firing pin bushed and the pin turned, the bolt double sleeved and the bolt and action lugs matched. Just as much fun as hot-rodding and a lot less mess.

Not to steal this thread, but I figured my question would be better fit here than starting a whole new thread. First of all, I'm fairly new to the .204 world. I just picked up a savage model 12 FCV and truly do love the gun but prefer the feel/look of the tactical stocks. Going off what was offered earlier, I looked into Choate and found the stock I'd like but am unsure if it will work with my rifle. On the Choate site under the savage model 12 section, the stock is the "Tactical Stock Savage Short Action Detachable Magazine"(last on the list). I guess what I'm asking is if it is compatible with my rifle for a swap over. Heres a link to the stock: https://secure.riflestock.com/catalog_p ... wProduct=0
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated

I like wood stocks and having being very responsive to authority will attempt to provide pics.

Nothing like attacking a clubby chunk of walnut with chisels, files, scrapers, rasps, and finally sandpaper to come up with a stock that you like using and that perfectly fits you and your needs.

I just like the feel of wood especially on bigger rifles that kick hard but gotta admit that plastics and synthetics are better for super extreme use.
