Tikka Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I've decided on my next rifle, and I'm going for factory Rem700, Varmint barrel, in .243 caliber. I'm looking for advice on stocking it. The .243 caliber only has two stocking options from the factory, so I now feel that I have two choices:- 1) Standard Laminated stock, have it bedded. 2) Standard synthetic stock (Which looks and feels a bit naff), swap it for a Wild Dog varmint stock and have it bedded. The second option will be about £150 more than the first. What would you do? Is the Wild Dog stock worth the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 The Wild Dog stocks are excellent and so comfortable to use. I'm glad I put one on my Remy 700. It is the Varmint stock in grass 01 Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I fitted the stock myself, the fit is so good the action just dropped straight in. The stocks already have pillars for pillar bedding as standard, I have not got round to Devcon bedding it yet as it shoots just fine.

Vermincinerator Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi Tikka, All short action Remington stocks are interchangeable. I swapped the stock from my VLS for a composite PSS stock which has an integral bedding block and is made for Remington by HS precision. You could swap into a VS or a VSSF stock which are basically the same but IMO not as ergonomic. Have a word with Roger at SYSS when i spoke to him a couple of months ago he had several take off stocks in both PSS and VS configuration. Ian.

silentsoulsleave308holes Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 bedding is very easy but the vls shouldnt really need it the laminate stock and resins are alot harder than walnut or beech have you looked at sako varmints? I own two remingtons and regret not spending a little extra to get the sako's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
