Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 700 SPS Youth Stock with Supercell

Does anybody have a good source to find a takeoff or used Remington 700 SPS Youth stock? I've got a 700 BDL .243win that one of my daughters is using this year to hunt mule deer. We did have a couple of instances of the LOP being too long with her hunting clothing on, and I was thinking it might be better to swap out stocks for the next year or so until she grows into it. Was difficult for her depending on angle to get a full sight picture. Scope was originally set for me, but she had no issues during our trips to shoot and sight in in a tshirt/small coat.

Plus, it will cut a little weight on the rifle as those wood stocks do weigh a tad more.

I'd greatly appreciate any leads. Wish I could get it done before this deer season is over, but looks like it will be a winter project. Daughter number 2 is ok as she is using my wife's Howa .243 in a youth stock.

I'd keep any eye out on Ebay or Gunbroker. Put a "Want to Buy" ad on a few hunting/shooting forums. People do buy those youth rigs sometimes for donor actions.

Thanks JPro. I just did a search on your suggestion and nothing readily available. I can order one through Amazon or Remington Country,but going poke around and see if I can't find a better deal. Although $135 plus shipping isn't bad.

They show up on the Classifieds on here once in a while.

I think I have one in the rafters, but I am pretty sure it's ADL. If you are interested still, I will take a look.

They're hard to come by in SA BDL format. Believe me, I've been looking too. I have about five years before I "need" one, but my hopes aren't high at this point.

Thanks gents. There seems to be quite a few of the ADL versions out there.

I've never done the BDL to ADL conversion. Read about it here a few times. Is it just a matter of pulling the action off the BDL stock and dropping it into the ADL stock, then re-sight in?

Swag,

I appreciate the offer as both you and another poster here PM'd with an offer on the ADL version. For the time being I just loosened up the ring screws and slid the scope back 3/8" or so. This helped quite a bit and will get us through the season as it ends Sunday night. I'm taking her out tonight after work to get it sighted in again. I'll let you know on the stock and greatly appreciate the offer.

ADL to BDL:

Obviously you'll need bottom metal. You'll also need a mag box. In some instances, you'll need a new spring too, but not too common. I did one recently that didn't need anything but a new mag box and bottom metal.

Appreciate the info.

He's going BDL to ADL.

You have to secure the magazine box to the receiver somehow for an ADL. You can either:

1) get a new ADL box that has a little tab with a screw that holds it to the receiver, or

2) epoxy the old BDL directly onto the receiver "permanently"

I've never had a problem using the BDL spring in the ADL, but vice versa doesn't always work.

BDL and ADL spring are the same from what Ive found. IIRC it was Brownells that showed one spring for both models. Follower is the same also.
I just did a ADL to BDL and the ADL spring works just fine in the BDL bottom metal. All internal you should have to change between the 2 is the mag well.


YOUTH SPS stocks here in stock but they are proud of them.

Whoops! My bad...

OP, if that bottom metal is black, I'll buy it off you if you don't need it!

try www.redhawkrifles.com

I tried finding a youth stock for my son a few years ago and never found one. I ended up buying a cheap regular stock on eBay and had my gunsmith cut it down and put a recoil pad on it. Worked great!

Gentleman, sorry about my late response. Been out trying to turn up a buck or 2 for my girls, and finally sealed the deal on 1 yesterday.

As to the rifle, I'm trying to go from BDL to a SPS youth stock with the hopes I can use my bottom metal and such. Seen the stock on Amazon, and they are proud of them, but it may be the only way to accomplish what I want to do. Or, its to convert to ADL and I've had some great offers to do just that. Now that the season is over, I'll give it a couple days and decide how I want to proceed.

Dooger, If I end up going ADL, I'll let you know on the BM.

Thanks

Standing by...

Any update, Kelk?

I also have a new black (metal) ADL trigger guard I'll be looking to get rid of if you're interested.
