I have a custom Model 7 chambered in 35 Rem with the factory plastic, hollow stock. The stock has a tight grip area and my knuckles get slapped every time I pull the trigger. While annoying at worst with 200gr loads, when I step up to 220gr Speer loads it gets painful. I'm considering a new synthetic stock and want to know if the B&C Model 7 stock has a more open grip area. I already have $1700 into this rifle with all accessories, ammo, etc and would like a low cost replacement stock. Worse case, I'd consider a McMillan or HS Precision stock but only after eliminating B&C as an option.

Thanks, Dinny

If trying to keep cost down, the 673 factory laminate has a more open grip (mag sporter channel though). Numerich generally has them for cheap.

I'm assuming it doesn't have a wood stock? If it does have a wood stock, it's nothing an afternoon with a rasp can't cure.


That's a dream rifle. I've always wanted a bolt action 35 Remington. Good luck with your search.

RemM8,
You are correct, it's not a wood stock. I have since updated my original post to indicate it's a hollow plastic stock. My rifle shoot exceptionally well and I can't imagine parting with it unless I built a Win M70 in 35 Rem first.

Thanks, Dinny

Yes, the B&C has a more “open” grip, as well as a bulkier forend.

Check out a Wildcat for a Model Seven. They are quite light and well made.

Not so much when you convert that to US $$.

They are nice stocks and very light.

If you're handy and don't mind doing the work, I really like the following....about $330 but very lightweight:

Wayne York can do one for $400, painted and bedded to my rifle. That seems to be my second best option right behind the B&C. Worse case I can skim bed the B&C myself.

Thanks, Dinny
