I have a 1997 Model Seven SS synthetic. Who was making their stocks at the time?

Remington?
Unless they outsourced production to a company that specialized in injection molding.

I don't know but I replaced my son's Model 7 .308 stainless with an HS Precision stock. It's slightly heavier but for such a light rifle it's a tackdriver
NRA Life,Endowment,Patron or Benefactor since '72.

Just curious, but what makes the 1997 injection molded Remington Seven stainless synthetic stocks better than the more recent production?

I may have spoken out of turn, I am comparing the 1997 Model Seven stock to the current Model 700 stock. Are the current Seven stocks different than the current 700 or SPS stocks?

I find the older pebble-finish, non-checkered M7 stocks to be really heavy. Perhaps they are sturdier than the current models, but they're about a half pound heavier.
Now with even more aplomb
