Hi All
I have a Remington Model 700 Classic in 30.06 22 inch barrel that I bought new . If I wanted to change the wood stock out and put a Composite or Fiberglass stock on it I would imagine I could have a weight savings doing this . I guess that's a question .
I don't know anything about those stocks . Do you just buy one that fits the Remington Model 700 long action and the action and barrel drop in ? Which manufactures of those stocks have that feature ? Do I need to take it to a gunsmith for him to fit the new stock to the action and barrel ? Also I see that some of the stocks have full length aluminum bedding blocks and others half length bedding blocks . What is the advantage to half length bedding blocks besides saving weight on the stock ? Is the gun as accurate with full length or half length bedding block ?
I know lot's of questions !
Thanks !
