I really like the design of the 700 LVSF barreled action, but don't care for the stock that came on them. Retrofitting the barreled action with a different stock can make them a much nicer package. Dropping the 700 LVSF was another one of those decisions that Remington has made that don't seem to make an sense.
I put together a couple of 700 parts guns with 700 ADL matte actions, 700 SPS matte bottom metal, 700 LVSF barrels in 223 and 22-250, and McM Sako/Tikka Hunter stocks. The Sako/Tikka Hunter style stocks aren't a perfect fit for the 700 action, but these rifles were put together before McM designed the McM Hunter to fit the primary actions from Remington, Ruger, Savage, and Winchester.
