Guest varmartin Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Get ready for a lot of different replies........ IMHO.....the HS precision or the Varmint Laminated......or the one which makes you shoot the best ...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'll have to go with the HS Precision as well. Well made, not too heavy and pretty well bombproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest James@Scarborough Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I've got the 700CDL in left hand. It's a beauty I don't like synthetics at all, natural is much better. , besides, most are not available in left hand, and custom stuff is out of my budget.

Ratwhiskers Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 +1 for the HS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I like the HS varmint stock, but not so keen on the HS police stock (doesnt feel as comfortable with the the hand positioning for me). At the moment I have now got a laminate thumbhole stock on my 223 and its just the job for me. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Has to be the HS Police for me, for completely the opposite of what ajw said, i found the the palm swell very comfortable and i dont have big hands. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamfarmer Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 700 police for me that hs stock is a nice piece of kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 You may not believe this, BUT, the Rem 700 (40XS) is available with a Mcmilllan A3 or A5 series. The A5 (if we are speaking factory rifle) would be my choice. However getting Edgar Bros to import one is entirely another matter. Link to Remington Military / Police catalogue: http://www.remingtonle.com/rifles/40xs.htm The 40 series is a standard Rem 700 action "pulled" from the production line and "accurised" by Remington Custom Shop - exactly same as the 700 series.

baldie Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 I like the varmint stock [hs] because it has a beavertail forend, and a slimmer wrist than the pss stock. Always had a fondness for the bog std wood bdl stock, with the black caps, and very high gloss, inch thick varnish.....very american, very tacky, but i,ve always loved it.

Teach Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi All Recently purchased a REM 700 PSS in .243. Although it look a bit brutal it has good grip and fires well with the synthetic stock. I like the idea of no maintenance. I bought it with a Pecar scope 4-10x53 a real bargin very clear and crisp and whats more I also managed to pick up a duple like reticle from US ebay for peanuts.
