New stock on my Remington 700 7mm

[powerage]

Well i just finished my very first stock replacment.

It is a Richards microfit Wildcat in Electric Blue laminate. I heard that the quality of their stocks was not so great but this one was excellent.

I had to do some customizing to it though as my gun has a removable magazine and they only make floorplate stocks. Was quite easy though. After all the sanding and fitting i put 3 coats of high gloss varathane and 6 coats of Automotive clear coat. I wet sanded the stock after the first three coats of clear. I think it came out great. Let me know what you think.

It's certainly distinctive.

I was pondering getting a black laminate from richard's, but was wondering how slippery it would be in the rain , with no checkering, and I don't really want to spend the $$$ doing the checkering.

looks cool

I had a Electric Blue laminate for a Win m70 that I sold before fitting the stock to the action.

I do like the colors, certainly is distinctive as Martinbns said

Great job
I did one up like that , and someone on this forum has it now, not sure if he still has it. They are fun to work with. And not a ton of money.

Thanks uys. I was a little hesitant at first ordering the blue. But i think i made a good choice. I almost went with a plain laminate thinking that the blue would be too flashy but it's not at all. Anything moe would have been too muc i think.

How long did it take to come in for you. I ordered one last Dec still have not seen it.

Does Darth Vader know you stole his gun?

 

[powerage]

I ordered it about the middle of November. I got it the middle of February. They are a little slow.

No Darth does not know so don't tell him.

 

[JasonYuke]

Looks good I ordered the same for a stainless 7mm RUM, I hope mine looks as good as yours. I orderd mine mid Dec? Did you call them at all?

 

[Dustin]

makes me want to do another re-stocking project...

 

[powerage]

I never did call. Just noticed that they charged my card. That's how i know it shipped. I think i may order something for my other rem 700 seeing as how this one turned out so good.

I love the rakish lines of the cheekpiece. Might be a hair shiny for hunting, but quite an interesting stock nonetheless. I like it.

How was yours?

BTW icehunter Richardson Microft, just google it. The cost was 217 US plus 47.00 shipping plus 40Us for th but recoil pad, so your looking close to 400 cnd.
