Synth Stock Remington Model 700 7mm Mag ?

[jfuller429]

Hey all, I have a Model 700, 7mm mag my father handed down to me. She is a gorgeous rifle with the nice wood stock that looks like dining room furniture. Its about 25 y/o but shoots great. To save the wood from damage, and carry weight while hunting, I am wanting to get a good synthetic stock with the capabilty of adapting a bipod, sling and scope. However I am not sure if this rifle is ADL, BDL, etc. Im also not 100% sure what action it is (i.e. short/long), if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Also links to stocks and/or prices would be helpful, and if this is something I can do myself. Thanks!

You've got a Remington M700 Long Action with standard weight magnum sporter barrel profile. Bell & Carlson, along with a dozen other manufacturers, should have a stock that meets your needs.

Thanks Buffy, you dont by any chance know the approximate value, and whatI would need that I dont have already inthe gun to transport to the new stock do ya ?

Value is what it is worth to you. If it was handed down to you by your father, its value may be more to you than what you would get.

If you were to sell that you would probably get around $400 depending on how many rounds have been put through it.

To change stocks, just get a stock. You have everything you need.

If you're asking about the prices for stocks, check the websites, midwayusa.com is a good place to start since it gives you a ballpark price. But a stock would run about $200 to whatever your wallet will handle. The B&C, HS-Precision stocks come with a aluminum bedding block (supposedly no bedding required) and your bottom metal should drop in. It will probably be "hunting" accurate enough just that way. If you want to get more accurate, toss everything but the bolt/action, send it to a skilled gunsmith, throw $$$$ and wait...or find one that someone has built and selling and keep your 7RM as is. You'll save $$$.

As to the value of your rifle; go to Border's/Barnes&Nobels and look it up.

You have a BDL long action. I have the same gun. The BC medalist stock is a good quality piece that wont break the bank. No real need to bed since it has an alloy block/frame. Have a smith work the trigger a touch, if needed, and you will have a very capable shooter.
