MarinePMI Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey all, I figured I'd come here and see what you guys thought, as I'm sure I've gone completely insane. I just ordered a JAE-700RSA stock and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to explain this to the wife... JAE 700 RSA site I know Andrew will tell me I'm crazy, but...well, maybe I am... Ugh...I've never spent this much on a stock! I guess I'll have to wait until April/May to find out if I've gone and lost all my marbles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Aarrrgh!!! no pics on the site If the M14 stock is anything to go buy it will be a beauty mate. Tell your wife that you were abducted by aliens and they forced you to buy the stock under threat of removing your testicles for medical experiments with a plastic picnic knife.

MarinePMI Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 It is supposed to look just like the M1A1 stock pictured, except in a Rem 700 action and detachable 5 found magazine. Hmmm...testicles...plastic picnic knife...sounds like what my wife may do to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streeker59 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 When i go on a spending spree my wife calls it the "Red Mist". I just get these ideas in my head and off i go credit card in hand. As usual i buy in haste and repent at leisure..... Talking of which i'm swopping my Steyr Mannllicher Pro Varmint .223 for a Tikka T3 also in .223. I want the 1 in 8" twist the Tikka will give me to propel more accurately RG 62 grainers. Hope i haven't made a big mistake........again..... Hope the new stock works out for you marine... Grant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarinePMI Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Actually, she'd just spent quite a bit on facials and facial products the week before I ordered it. It actually went fairly well. I showed up with flowers (which I do anyways at least once every two weeks...it's my preventive maintenance program) and jokingly said that "Today the flowers are truly preventive maintenance". She just laughed and asked "What'd you buy?". When I told her, she just paused and said, "Well, if that's what you want..." And that was pretty much the end of it. I guess I married well, eh? OAN, I spoke to Lisa at the SHOT Show about the stock and got to look at the beta of the 700 stock. One word...wow. I have no problems now with how much it costs (it impressed me that much). Even the mags (which run $100 a pop) could be justified by just picking one up. They're completely milled from solid T6/T7 aluminum. They feel like you could run over them with a tank and they'd survive. They also had a 10rd version as well. She did say that a 700 long action version was next, and then a Savage pattern in the near future... I can hardly wait until I get mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinePMI Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Just checked. Lisa updated the site with pictures of the beta JAE 700RSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Looks like you married a good one there marine. That is pretty much what my other half says when I buy something daft, which is why she's still my other half. Some guys really do seem to be under the thumb.

tulkyuk Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 That is one seriously nice piece of Kit Marine and may just about be worth the divorce papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarinePMI Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 tulkyuk, LOL! Almost...but given how understanding she is about my obsession...err...hobby, I think I'll do my best to hold on to her. As to the kit, yeah, it is pretty sweet! I think the only thing I could think of that would have been nice to have on this stock, was a spare mag trap (since I hate 10rd mags in a bolt gun). It would've been nice to see a flush mounted 5rd mag trap behind the pistol grip... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
