Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Lightweight Stock for a Model 7

OK guys, who besides McMIllan makes a good lightweight stock for a Model Seven? I have a CDL�little skinny barrel, that Im considering a synthetic stock for.
Any suggestions?

McMillan.

I've heard another company that makes a good one is McMillan.

Tanner

Yeah, I forgot about them!

Both of you�I fart in your general direction!





Now, get serious or I shall be forced to taunt you a second time!

Sorry... I'll be serious.

Try McMillan.

Easy to forget about. They are often overshadowed by MacMillan, McMIllian, MacMillian, and a few others. But none are as good as McMillan.

The stepdaughter ( the REALLY good looking one�) was asking about you the other day.


I told her you were dead.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned this one yet.


McMillan

ingwe;
Happy Fourth of July to you folks sir, I hope this finds you well and that you are enjoying your retirement.

With the understanding that I've not handled one of his stocks for a Model 7 - I'd drop a line to Stuart at Wildcat Composites if you like the lone offering that he makes.

I've done two rifles with stocks he's built - Mauser and Model 70 - and have been very impressed with them in terms of how stiff the stock he makes is and that his advertised weights are very close to reality.

Please also note that the stocks I did from him were unfinished and needed bedding. That said, the "unfinished" from Wildcat had less pits and voids than another one I did some work on from another maker. For the life of me I can't recall who made that one and I'd not post it on open forum anyway as everyone can have a bad day.

Although I've not used all models of other makers stocks, I have done work on rifles with McMillan, Bell&Carlson and Chet Brown stocks.

Hopefully that was some use to you or someone out there today ingwe.

Again all the best to you and yours this Fourth of July.

Those might be ok....

High Tech Specialties/Bansner makes a good one for the M7 factory barrel if you like to finish them yourself. With a flip-flop pad they come in very light.

Dead sexy?! Thanks man! You get to give the first toast.

Tanner

I've got a Brown FS on mine, love it.

I have two model 7's with High Tech Specialties/Bansner stocks purchased through Brownells even though they are not shown in their catalog. I had a gunsmith finish them and I like them a lot. Much lighter than the Model 7 with a McMillan stock I have. MPI also makes one for the Model 7.

I dropped one in a High Tech stock. LOVE that rifle.

I guess you feel the b&c is too heavy? I going to put a sporter takeoff on a seven for my nephew and wonder if the b&c will/would work.

BC30cal,

The Wildcat Composite looks interesting! We need some field reports.

Bell & Carlson does the Alaskan TI BDL for the Seven, though not terribly light with the aluminum benning block, 28-32oz.
