Remington 700P HS Precision Stock?

[danager]

I am hoping someone here can help answer a question for me.

I recently purchased a take-off stock from a Remington 700P. I will be swapping this for the Hogue stock on my SPS Tactical AAC-SD. The HS Precision stock arrived today, and it looks a little different from the Hogue.

The stock has a notch on the top, to the left of the action (opposite the bolt knob). This is 4" long X 1/8" deep. This will not cause any issues with fitment, just curious as to why this stock has this.

Post pics. I have two or three P stocks and don't recall this. Maybe I'm just getting old. - dan

Not my rifle... You can see what I am referring to in the two bottom photos on the page listed above.

Ok, that's for a peep sight. Some folks fit their 700's with iron sights instead of scopes, and there are two small screws on that side of the receiver for that purpose. - dan
