Rem 600 Mohawk: Fit in a 700 Stock?

[CyaN1de]

I recently purchased a Remington 600 Mohawk action with a homemade stock but I am not sure the stock is going to be any good for me or would need extensive work to get it fixed up to what I think it should be.

I was curious if the action would bolt into a Rem 700 stock without much, if any, modifcation to the stock.
If not, what Rem model stock would it fit in?

Thanks

A 700 stock isn't going to be usable with a 600 barrelled action without serious rework. A Model 7 stock would be closer, but the trigger mechanism and trigger position is different, as are the bolt handles. Don't know how the screw spacing compares.

I wouldn't mind having to hog some wood out to accommodate the dog leg bolt and or trigger assembly. I can Bubba with the best of them. I was looking more for the bolt spacing to fit the action to the stock right.

Bolt spacing isn't correct, if memory serves. You have to fill with epoxy and then redrill, plus cut for the handle. You can buy aftermarket stocks for these, including an inexpensive Ramline. I'm restocking a couple this winter, with Bansner stocks. - dan

Inexpensive? Now your speaking my language

I am basically looking to build a Varmint rifle not a target gun so cheap is good. I might just take the stock and action to my gunsmith and get his opinion as to whether the stock I have will do or not. For a homemade stock it's actually not bad, it just looks like it should have more "meat" around the rear bolt and the action itself.
