Question
I have 2 Rem 700's, 1 is the XCR2 300wsm and a custom 7mm mag. How can I tell if the stocks are composite or recycled water bottles. I have been looking at the Grayboe stocks with dropbox for a upgrade. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Fliesitdies
It's usually pretty obvious when they are the plastic POS stocks. They're generally very light and you can twist/flex them with your hands fairly easy.
For a relatively inexpensive stock, but still a pretty good piece, you can usually find like new HS Precision take offs for $225-$250. B&C stocks will often look very similar but I don't think they are as stout as the HS Prec. McM and Manners, both, make a top notch stock but their prices ranges start at double and go up from there. Also, unless you buy a used one or luck out and find one in stock somewhere, you'll be waiting 3-6 months minimum for a McM or Manners. They have a lot more options for sizes, shapes, and colors too though.
