I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy a custom stock (in Canada) for a RH Rem 788 6mm? Prefer synthetic but... Thanks.

Not many custom stocks for 788's around. Ramline makes a synthetic for the 788 in 6mm. Black only. Epp's is a Ramline dealer. They might have something that's of higher quality too.
Otherwise, you are looking at an expensive cu$tom made stock. Likely cost more than the rifle is worth. Not much 788 aftermarket stuff around these days.

Boyds is haveing another one of their weekend sales right now. Semi-inlet laminate stocks for a 788 are about $70, and they ship to Canada on items less than $100.
More interesting to me was the pile of finished right to the sling swivels JRS stocks for $99.99, but I think those are for everything but the 788.

Thanks a lot for the help guys, maybe I'll get a synthetic for coyotes and a wood for antelope.
Just further on the Ramline stocks..... Many years ago I picked up a Rem 788 factory carbine [18 1/2" barrel] in 7mm-08. The stock was rather beaten up. So, I ordered a Ramline black synthetic stock for it from Western Gun Parts. This was back in the day when the Ramlines came with a Pachmayr decellerator recoil pad installed.
Anyway, my barreled action dropped right in without any fuss or fitting required. I decided to try shooting it just as is to see how it did without any further alterations, additions, bedding etc. Well, it's an honest sub 1" at 100 yards shooter just as is. I'm 100% completely happy with the Ramline on it. Yes, they are not the prettiest stock and there is no bragging rights that come with them. But it "works".

As a result, this rifle is a "keeper".....
NAA.

MPI, Brown Precision, Boyds, and McMillan (at least they used to) all make synthetics for the 788. Have to bring them in from Stateside, but Ian Robertson here on this board can probably help you out with a homegrown stock. - dan

Thanks again, I'll contact those couple fellows on here. Would rather get a homegrown stock if possible anyway !!
