During the late 1980's Remington made a few of these. I have one. The stock for the FS was Grey (mine is 7mm rem mag) and the RS was like a real tree pattern. The action was glass bedded to the stock and the rifle is incredibly accurate. Mine has produced 300 yard groups under 1" on many accounts. The stock feels like a "kevlar" style stock. Extremely light and durable. This is all I know about them. Can someone shed some additional light on this? I heard this was a brown precision stock.... http://www.auctionarms.com/closed/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=9518893.0

I also owned a 7mm Rem mag...I had the action glass bedded and the the gunsmith(Ed SHilen) had the barrel air gauged...he said it was straighter then most custom barrels...it shot bug hole groups with just about everything.

C'mon, Pop. You know you want it! I'd be all over that if I hadn't blown the toy fund on a .270, an '06, and a 7 Wizzum in the last two weeks.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

It's a Brown Prec stock, I have one in 7 Rem Mag that is pretty darn accurate with 150 Ballistic Tips over H4350, and not bad with 140 TSX's over Rel22. With a 4.5-14 Leupy in Talley LW's it's 8lbs even..... Here are some targets I shot with mine.. 100 meters is 109 yards,..200 meters is 218 yards..300 meters is 327 yards.

Smoking deal, dayum! My lefty 30 06 shoots 3 loads sub moa and is wonderfully light. If I see another I'd buy it in a heart beat.

The FS is a Brown using their standard construction although the pattern is unigue to the FS model. It is very much like a McMillan KS pattern, especially in the pistol grip, although IIRC from the one KS I had the forearm of the FS is slimmer. The FS originally came in both grey and with a ghost leaf camo pattern overlaid on the grey. I've had one of each, a 7mm RM in ghost leaf and now a .30-06 in plain grey (actually two of the ghost leaf as I bought an FS stock separately from Remington to restock another rifle). Not a fan of camo rifles in particular but really liked that ghost leaf pattern, it was very subdued.
I don't believe the RS ever came in camo as it was just a molded plastic stock but I don't know for sure. I've just never seen a camo RS but that doesn't mean they never made one.
Those FS models were and are one of the best kept secret deals out there. A lightweight package overall that keeps a standard sporter barrel contour, glass bedded into a quality fiberglass stock all for the price of a regular production M700. I was happy to pay a bit over $600 for that NIB .30-06 about 3-4 years ago.
$375 for one, even a little scuffed up, was indeed highway robbery!

The RS stock on the 700 RS that I had was made by Six Enterprises.

Recently got a black RS long-action BDL takeoff. Hopefully will be back in my hands tomorrow for some full pics but my impressions are: very solid, zero flex, maybe heavy, black with whitish/grey speckling, sands well, feels dense. It is way nicer than a Tupperware plastic unit IMO. Don't really know what Rynite is but a quick Goggle and it appears to be a Dupont glass-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin. Polyester man. However, the one I got was a 1980s factory defect. This one had a small ridge of material along the action channel roughly parallel with the ejection port about 1/16"x1/8"x3" long that I presume caused the stock to spread and a small crack to form behind the front takedown. The ridge (and crack) are barely visible in the picture... I sanded out the ridge and the material 'worked' nicely, smooth powdery feeling. Figuring to spread and superglue the crack and/or add a pillar. But I'll need a bargain action like you found first. Kinda buggered by the apparent brittleness, so I don't know... I believe the RS, KS and FS 700s all hit the market in 1987 and the AS in '89. OT

Mine looks nothing like that. And yours is laid-up not molded, correct? Here' another look at this RS. Not really white/grey speckling as described above, more black with hints of OD-like swirl. It really is very stiff with absolutely zero forearm flex, so all I need is an action, and some spray paint... OT

Oregontripper is right. I have a RS in .280, that is the stock. I had a FS that was camo leaf gray in 7Rem mag. The RS is a good, stiff stock-better than the injection molded stocks to come later. If there is a drawback to the RS, it's that they were not checkered and proved to be a bit slick. Nothing that texture paint won't cure. The FS is a better stock, being laid up fiberglass and are a deal if you find them. An early complaint was that they were loud-everyone being used to wood stocks. These were the start to synthetic factory stocks, although Weatherby offered the first synthetic stocks on a factory rifle if I remember
