Oh wise Guru's, I am in search of your wisdom!
I have an older Remington 721 in .270 caliber that I would love to place a new lightweight stock onto. I really like the new camo plastics out there... My goal is to lighten up my existing .270 and sort of dress it up into a 'mountain rifle' type setup.
This rifle was handed down to me from my dad, and I have hunted with it every year since 1979. Over the years I have refinished the stock a few times, including hand sanding the barrel for a month in front of the tv to remove all milling marks from Remington and had the gun professionally re-blued. The sanding and re-bluing were all done with love and turned out really nice. Mistakenly as a youth (and listen up kids!) I inlaid a brass plate into the floor of the stock, converted the gun with a Quik Clip...and some other trashy "upgrades". The existing stock is not so pretty anymore. I wish I had not altered anything on the stock. Live and learn.
Anyway, do any of you Guru's have pointers or advice on the purchase of a lightweight camo stock for this beloved rifle?
