I'm thinking of getting one of these (Ramline Hardwoods HD Camo Stocks: Rem 7600) stocks for my 7600. I have the regular wood stock with the monte carlo thingy but I don't use a scope so to be in line with the iron sight I really got to push my face into the stock... not too comfortable...

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these stock and hopefully get some feedback before I go off and get one. :)

Thanks everyone.
 
Ramline doesn't make the highest quality stuff. It's okay, and serviceable, but not top quality.

If possible, get a geniune Reminton stock. It's MUCH better quality-wise, IMHO.

About the same quality of plastic as found in Barbie and Ken.

And a lot of Barbie's have been around a long time... ;) :D

No doubt Ramline's are an econo stock.

I've found the couple full length versions I've had to be quite serviceable. I liked 'em best when they came with a Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad installed.

I still have one on a Rem 788 carbine in 7mm-08... it works...

I've got one on a M96 Mauser, it's not what I would consider nice but it works. You could always sand the top of the comb down on your wood stock to get that custom fit, refinish it and your good to go.
 
Casting a gaze into the locker I would see at least two target rifles, an SKS, a Garand, a .300 Win Mag "Centurion" and an M14 all with synthetic stocks. Some well made fibreglass models, others much simpler injection moulded plastic stocks. I have ZERO concerns or doubts about any of these rifles' fit or feel. In fact the hunting rifle has many many trips behind it; I would never go back to a wood stocked hunting rifle.

The feel of a gun is as important as the fit of your shoes. If the stock doesn't fit there is no point in buying it.
 
The Ramline stocks are by far one of the stiffest tupperware stocks out there, certainly stiffer than both the Remington and Winchester plastic, I have only had one Ramline andd it is an older model, I don't know if the newer models are any different but mine is very stiff through the action area and the forend, it is very difficult to flex, both good qualities in a stock! The recoil pad is nothing to write home about but that can be changed. Bedding is possible but as with all tupperware stocks the bedding will require anchoring or it will eventually crack off.
 
Fortunatly I wont need any bedding done since it's for a pump .308. I just wanted to make sure it wont break (be weak) or affect accuracy much or anything of that source because I beat the crap out of this gun every fall. I guess it's what we commonly call a "bush gun". :D :D

I can get the black model for 100$ and camo for 125$ taxes included, is that the right price?? (for a rem 7600) If the price is right....

Thanks again.
 
My number one hunting rifle has a plastic stock. I clean the stock with Windex and a toothbrush - when I feel like it, and the steel with Hoppes No.9 - every night. (If you look closely I'm sure you'd find embedded mud from some long dried up bog I traversed looking for deer.) And isn't that what matters?

I remember one hunt when I saw some Saskatchewan whitetail slough habitat well off the road. Facing into the blizzard I walked a good 1/2 mile towards the weeds, with the snow stinging my cheeks. Man that was uncomfortable. A couple of young bucks lifted and I snapped one. He nosedived into the weeds. After what felt like an hour of dragging I was overheated but happy. The rifle on its sling was the least of my concerns, because I knew it wouldn't be effected one bit by the weather. Getting that yearling up and into the trunk of the car by myself was going to be another matter!
 
I installed a ramline stock on my 7600, 30-06 pump.The butt stock didn't fit quite right and I had to file it a bit to install it but other than that it seems fine.I use it for my backup moose/foul weather rifle.If I was going to do it again I would likely buy the Remington stocks.

Good point, and nice story. :)

I believe I'll be getting one for my 7600, I just cant decide if I go with the black or the camo... :D

Either or. The deer won't know the difference, only you and your buddies will. Want "looks cool factor" or economy? You decide. I'd use Ram-Line on a 7600 pump, but not on a bolt rifle I wanted/needed to bed. Just my $.02 worth...

For a little more money you can get a choate that is infinitely better fit, finished, and made. Hogue also makes a set for that gun. Maybe worth looking at your options?

I just went looking at the Choate website, and Hogue also, neither of which (that I could find) make the stocks for the 7600. They only make them for the shotguns or the 700's. I wish you could prove me wrong, I'd love to compare.:redface: Can you show me where you found them?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the imput!! :D
