Replacement Stocks?

caprilicious

Hi, could anyone recommend where I could order a replacement stock for a Remington 700 .223 & a Sako 75 Hunter?

I've googled both but the only sites jumping out at me are American one's and most cant/wont ship Internationally

Is there anywhere in Ireland/UK that they can be ordered?

Cheers,

C :cool:

MidWayUK do them. Think RimfireMagic do as well. (for the Remmy)

Look at Cabelas/Midway/or any US site .... HS Precision make a real good stock for about $250 US.
If you need help drop me a pm and Ill see what I can find for ya on the Remmy....

now now .... beauty is in the eye of the beholder... and one mans meat is another man's poison...... i'll admit i was sceptical when it came out of the box on day one ..... but it grows on ya..... and it is a solid shooting platform...... every thing about it is functional..... as it was desifned that way... by MAJOR JOHN PLASTER..(lol) having said that a lot of police/ military sniper teams in the U.S. are using the major's handywork.... if not the choate, earlier versions.... and we all know there using the remmy 700 action aswell, all be it in 308... we took a hacksaw to my friends stock last week, twas great fun... he recently got his barrel shortened(handier for getting over the ditches) and the T8 wouldn't fit..... so twenty minutes later and two inch's shorter he was a happy camper..... and before anyone says anything...... the choate is not for the fair weather shooter...... it's a heavy bit of kit.....

Thanks a mill for all the replies and links

Its for the husbands gun, I'm half thinking of getting him a new stock for Christmas. I never realised there were so many out there to chose from though!

I know he wants either a black/dark green one and one of those plastic type one's rather than the wood one's. There seems to be a huge range in prices too, one website I checked the prices ranged from $100 to $1500!
I was hoping to get one for the cheaper end of the price range

Woops I'm looking for the wrong stock apparently! its the Sako 75 that he wants the stock for, I've attached a pic of the Sako Finnlight its that style of stock he wants for it.
The original stock the Hunter 75 comes with is the wooden one.

Hi,
When it comes to plastic stocks their are two main types. The mass produced injection moulded type. These are made from a cheap thermoplastic material that has very little or no fiber reinforcement and is therefore not a stiff material. In my opinion useless for stocks. The stiffer the material the better for a stock because it reduces the movement of the action and barrel ever so slightly when one fires a shot. This increases accuracy and repeatability. One very stiff material that is also used for high end sports equipment as well as aerospace applications is HM carbon fiber in conjuntion with approved resins. Which brings us to composite rifle stocks the second type.
Conventionally (USA / Canada) these composite stocks are made with a simple vertical split line and need to be milled out so that one can fit the rifle. Disadvantage is a lack of compression strength in the action area and generaly the rifle to outer shell strength/stiffness is low.
We have overcome these dissadvantages with a much more complex mould set-up.

This is all important but useless if a stock does not fit well or is of a wrong design for the purpose. Trying before buying would be great.

In the meantime two or three people in Ireland have specialised in spray painting rifle stocks with very high quality paints that are non reflective and fairly grippy even if wet. So colour changing is not a problem.
Let us know how you get on.
