Did Remington make a Grey Laminate stock ?

[FatCatsDad]

Traded for this 700 LA a few days ago and am wondering if it's an original stock, maybe a special run or if it's a Boyd's aftermarket.
Its high gloss like a BDL with a Super soft Limbsaver pad.

Its original. Remington sold a version with a gray laminated stock. 700 LSS i believe was the designation. the recoil pad does not look original though.

Def a 700LSS with a Precison Fit Limbsaver pad

The LSS is pretty my favorite remington factory stock, Slim, trim, comfortable to me and more stable than most tupperware handles.

Oh that’s a sharp looking rifle, good score!

That's a really nice rifle. It was around the year 2000 A.D. that this version came-out. What is your rifle chambered in?

The very versatile 30-06 and it came topped with Leupold standard bases and a Weaver 3.5-10x50mm scope.

Perfect combination!

I had one in 300 WSM. Remington replaced the recoil pad as the factory one deteriorated. Left a black sticky goo in the safe. Mine seemed to be jinxed for me. Every time I used it I would never harvest an animal. Take another rifle out of the safe and never a problem. Finally sold and replaced it with an X-bolt Carbon fibre.

I have the nutmeg thumbhole laminated version I would have to check but I think it’s 2008/09 production. Factory recoil pad is still intact as new. Shot a pile of game over the years with this dandy. Chambered in 300 RUM

I like those weaver bases better than my Leupolds, they don't hang into the ejection port.

Yes I know there’s better options out there but them bases and the Burris Zee Signature mounts have never failed me. They will stay on the rifle until they do! )

I had a 700 LSS in 243, and one in 280 Rem

I love pepper laminate stocks on rifles.

[Ruger007]

I had one in a 257 Wby. Rem 700 LSS. Wished I kept it

 

[SHELL SHUCKER]

Though Remington didn't make the stocks themselves, the ones they fitted to the 700 LSS rifles and the Model 798 M98 Mauser based rifles shared
the same profile & checkering pattern,but the 798 stocks were nutmeg colored. Great looking stocks either way.

 

[BlackRam]

Yes, the 700 LSS is a great rifle that was offered in RH and LH versions. I have owned both; RH in 7mm Rem Mag and LH in 270 Win. Great looking and comfortable!
My current LH in 280 Rem XCR also has a LSS stock for nice weather/terrain hunts, and wears the XCR stock for rough weather/terrain hunts. Glass bedded both so there is no shift in poi when swapping stocks.
Enjoy your new rifle!
