If you're simply going to put a sort of okay stock on a 700, you'd be just as far ahead to leave the factory stock on it, if it's one of the newer model synthetics with the overmold panels. They are just as stiff as the HS/BC stuff, lighter, and have good ergos as they come.

If upgrading, then do a real upgrade, either to a Mickey or Brown.
