Ya I just checked them out, their a decent price too, I'd prefer somthing with a bit more adjustability but at that price I dont mind investing a bit more into it to get what I'm after.

I'm not looking for a chassis system, or a pure bench system. I want adjustable so that the rifle fits me. Due to the fact I will most likely be buying it online without ever having held it adjustable means i know I'll be able to get it just right.
As for what i consider long range, I'll be practicing stretching it out to 1k. I doubt I'll ever take a shot on somthing at that range but the calibre is still capable at that range so who knows. I'd rather be comfortable shooting at a much further range then I hunt then hunting at the max of my comfort zone.
I see no reason to get an adjustable rifle stock on a hunting rifle. Get the proper length of pull, squat a properly sized scope down as low as it will go and it will be versitile enough for hunting.
1000 yrd rifles can be used for hunting and vice versa, but the two designs are negatively effecting each other.
Build an accurate hunting rifle and see where it takes you imo

That's what I'm trying to do, I'm looking for suggestions on after market manufacturers. The problem I'm having is idk what l.o.p. or check rise I need so I'm left with buy a stock blind , hope it fits and if it doesnt sink more money into finding away to make it "fit" better or if any can point me in the direction of a decent option with some adjustability
Now for the people who keep saying buy a new scope I will be in the future, however I dont see how even the best scope in the world will compensate for the fact every time I line up to shoot I'm essentially rest on the barrel. So in short I'm going at this one problem at a time, 1st I'll get the gun set up then I'll buy the optic

I think you are going in reverse here. If your old Redfield is the problem you will never get that rig set up properly.
Never.
You have nothing to lose by going to new optics and setting it up with proper eye relief for your cheek weld.
If there is other problems with the rifle you have a decent scope to use on the next phase or the next rifle.
Ok, so your set on a new stock.
Measure length of pull with a tape .
Place one end against the inside of your arm at the elbow and pull it out till it reaches your trigger finger.
Thats your first measurement to search for a stock.
But, I still suggest a new scope from your original concern of the shift point of impact.
You want a new stock go for it, but you dont get accuracy with out the other first.
I'm out after this .

I'm 6'2 and I've owned or a very least shot just about every factory 700 stock variation over the last 40 some years.
BDL,ADL, HS Prec., Mountain Rifle, Hogue,McMillan and B&C to name a few.
While they may not be 100 percent ideal for my build I've never thought of any of them as being a problem.
Just sayin is all.
Any thoughts on what your stock bolts are torqued to and are they torqued the same in inch pounds?

i haven't checked to see what they are torqued to exactly, but they are still snug and there is no play. I'm having issues with the stock box mag is having issues feeding and id like to switch to a detachable mag for ease of use, also the fore end is so flimsy that even just resting the gun on the fore end in a "firing" position causes the the barrel to make contact with the the stock. all in all im not happy with the stock and am just looking for suggestions on a good quality manufacturer because there are so many out there to choose from.
i understand that i need a new scope and if i was just trying to prevent my point of impact from moving the first thing i would do is grab one of my spare scopes and see what/if it made a difference. at this point in time i want to address the stock and mag and possibly look into a new trigger. after all of that is set up ill be picking up a new scope zeroing it in and starting on load development. i could buy the scope first but given the fact that there is other issues i want to address i don't see the point of buying the scope first.

Prophet River has Bell and Carlson in the BDL Alaskan Sporter style for just north of 400 dollars.
I've got that same stock on my 270 BDL and it's nice for what it costs.
It has aluminum bedding and basically mimics the contours of the HS Precision stock at less cost.
Should be pretty much a straight drop in fit.
RJ's suggestion of the McMillan for 5 bills is also a very good one.
If you don't like the green marble finish you can always re-paint to whatever looks best.

I have quite a FEW B&C 's and i find them a bit thick thru the pistol grip area where the Mac's i have are not so much - that's why i suggested it - BUT if NEWgunNUTS has big Mitts then a B&C will be Find ! RJ
Very true.
I've got big mitts so I prefer the B&C or HS profile. I sold my last McMillan for 600 and took a loss at that.
Five hundred for a good used one is a deal.
Hogue's leave me cold but if the OP wants to try one I've got one of those with full aluminum bedding gathering dust.
