Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Best value in lightweight composite stock for Rem 700

Looking to pickup a lighter weight stock for my Remington 700 ADL Long Action. I think McMillan, Manners and AG Composites May be the best out there but are there any others that compete with them for less money? My primary wants are high enough comb to get a good cheek weld with the 40mm scooe in low rings and fairly lightweight. Would prefer to have pillars preinstalled.

You might want to take a look at this stock. https://www.bellandcarlson.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1058

I'm a huge fan of Manners, great guys to deal with an they offer a great veterans discount. My smith absolutely loves working with their stocks and they're in KC, which for me makes it easier to try things out.

Unfortunately, the pillars aren't preinstalled and the stock must be bedded. They do have several models for a lightweight build depending on your barrel profile and how wide of a forearm you're looking for. I've got an EH3 on order now, which is a 24-27 ounce "mountain" style stock with a higher comb. It's going on a 700 LA in 300WM with a 3-18x50mm. For what you're describing I'd look at their UC:

which is a traditional designed stock with a weight of around 22 ounces. I've also used a couple of their EH8s and have been 100% satisfied.

GB Outlander and RHR will have it to you,in 3 days. Hint.




I've lotsa' them in S/A. The only hitch in your giddyup,being they only inlet BDL or M5. Shoots softer than schit,due nice design...on the above 7mm RemMag with 180 ELD's at 2900fps+. Hint...............

B&C Ti is 29oz. I'm too cheap for anything else and it is drop-in

The Outlander is a drop-in and I've bought more than a few from RHR for $249.99. I prefer their ergo's to B&C and the Outlander is lighter. Hint............

The Manners Ultralight Classic is a thing of sheer beauty. On a short action, it weighs about 17 oz. (13" LOP). The lines on the Brown Precision are also classic and very appealing. Lastly, you might take a look at Mark Bansner's stocks. Bansner commissioned new molds, with new processes and materials. They also have a stock patterned after the Miller classic. My .02 worth.

not familar with GB and who is RHR.

PS no ADL listed

I'm guessing Red Hawk Rifles.

Fhuqking LAUGHING! HINT.



You Fhuqktards are a hoot! Hint..................

Honestly I'd like to build another rifle using a Rem M7 stock, just to have an excuse to try a Manners UC. I checked one out at their shop and it is a really nice design.

I've got a B&C Alaskan Ti (same concept as their Mountain Ti without the full length aluminum block) and it works well and does save some weight from their normal stocks.

Take a look at AG composites. I cant remember the weight, but a good well made to order stock with 6-8 week delivery.

Tom is good people,but they routinely fhuqk up inlets. The UC pattern's comb runs away and the wrist is long/slow. Easy pass. Hint.

RHR can have an AG Altitude to you in 3 days,but as Sporter patterns go,I want an Outlander. Hint.

AG Waypoint,day before last. hint.



AG Altitude. Hint.



Yet another Outlander. Hint.





Just sayin'.................

Think GB upped the weight of the Outlander sometime early last year—says 32 oz. on their website and 30 oz. on RHR. The LA BDL that I got from RHR during their Thanksgiving sale weighs 36 oz. and doesn't say UL on the box.

Just opened a NIB specimen,laying in wait. Hint.




Just sayin'.

L/A's being of less mass yet,due inlet sizing. Hint................

Hell, that’s as light as the McMillan edges they were turning out at the end before Beck. Where are you finding the ultralights? Thought they stopped making them. I’d grab a couple …

unfortunately the best value now is probably a used mcmillan....

Stocky's Stocks NextGen CF might be worth a look. Personally haven't fondled one, but a few here on 24Hr have.

Before I put my money out for the AG, I'd confirm the delivery time. Last I heard it had passed the 14 week mark.

If you want a high comb, look at the B&C Weatherby style #2963, 2.2 lbs. I like the tighter radius of the pistol grip on this stock when compared to the Mountain Ti. I have them on Howa 1500 actions and would have more if they made this stock for the short action 700.
