Stock on a Remington 7600

[buckowens]

My girlfriend is on the search for a rifle, specifically a Remington pump .308. Now to make things difficult she does not like a monte carlo stock as she refuses to mount a scope on any rifle she owns. So I have a question,
Can you get a stock to put on a 7600 that has a straight comb? The 760 had a straight comb but they are next to impossible to find in a .308 with the newer style forearm. Its also very difficult to find a used older style 7600 with the straight comb. Any suggestions? She's been looking for over a year and so far no such luck.

I dont know the 7600 models, but if it has a wood stock you could always remove the monte carlo and refinish it.

I see some people put 870 youth model stocks on 7600's. Not sure how the length compares.
I've been thinkin about doing it and having a peep and quick detach mounts so I can put the scope on when I'm sitting.

If she doesn't mind synthetic, you can get ramline or B&C stocks for it...

It's my understanding the 20 gauge 870 shotgun stocks will fit the 760/7600/7400 rifles. Only the butt stock, not the forearms. Check out Boyds stocks. You could even put a thumbhole laminate on it if you wish, in all sorts of funky colours. puke

"...next to impossible to find in a .308..." Hasn't been made since 1981. She'll have to go with a custom or aftermarket stock. Nearly all of 'em have scopes installed.
Contact this guy. He's not Numrich. He lists straight comb Rem 7600 stocks in wood and synthetics. Not terribly expensive either. Don't know if he ships to Canada. http://www.gun-parts.com/remingtonstocks/

Numrich has what you're looking for, but they have a $25 USD surcharge on exports:

Bob's Gun Parts does not ship to Canada, according to their homepage.

I would try Western Gun Parts in Edmonton:

Thanks for the responses guys. She is wanting a wood stock so we are going to check around and see what we can come up with.

supercub, on this forum, had 7600 wood stocks for sale, no monte carlo.

Thanks warren. The girlfriend just may have found her rifle. Considering how she's bouncing off the walls I think the search is finally over. We're headed out in the morning to take the final look and most likely bring it home. Its a used older 7600 with the straight stock in awesome condition.
Keep your fingers crossed for us!
