The first McM style that I'd look at if I was buying for a 700 Varmint would be the Remington Hunter. I have the Savage version and like it.


Thank you, I had forgotten about this stock.

I agree that an open grip may not be the best for me as most shots will be taken from sitting or on a stationary rest.


Before McMillin introducted the "McMillin Hunter", I bought a couple of Sako/Tikka Hunters inletted for 700SAs. The 700 actions weren't as deep/tall as the Sako/Tikka Hunter stocks, so part of the BDL floorplate was recessed below the the level of the stock. Not a huge deal and something most people might not notice, but I noticed. I'm pointing this out because in the "action compatibility" tab for the Sako Varmint and Sako 75 Varmint there is no mention of compatibility with any Remington actions.
