Lots of people do. I'm not saying they aren't a good stock, I have issues with the ergos
M24 SWS Clones and Collections - let see them.

Because it was my dads match rifle before he passed away.Then why do you use it with your 700 that isn’t an M24?
That is pretty cool. But this rifle has nothing to do with the M24 thread? Why not start a thread about this rifle and the history of it. That would be a cool thread. I don’t get why you posted on the M24 thread. I am not saying it in a mean way. I am just saying that this thread is about M24’s. Let’s keep it that way. There are so many threads you could post the rifle on here.
Because it is a long action rem 700 with a .473 bolt face, in the proper stock with an m24 profile barrel.
The rifle itself is very close to an M24 A2, with exception of the chambering (6.5x55SE) and the MARS rail.
pretty cool this one is cut for a mars rail. looks like the indent from the side piece is visible in the top foam.System 2:

sold my EuroOptic ASA1987 m24 and got a G prefix m24. I went a different route with this build and cloned a late ranger m24. Optics are Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x40mm F1 M3 Mildot.

I'm not quite sure "Holy Crap" begins to cover it.
Phenomenal set ups both.
Very nice rifles, both with really rare optic set-ups. Thanks for these pics.
I would be interested to know if everyone has different numbers under their bolt handles. I saw a photo of one on a different website and the numbers are different then mine. Wonder if they could have been the military serial number that the bolt came from?
Remington stamps the last 4 digits of a rifles SN underneath the bolt handle after headspacing.
That circular area in the optics case originally held the sunshade, which was later relocated into the deployment case. Then the circular foam cutaway was removed so the EMA Laser Filter could be stored there, and its rubber protection caps (red cap) got discarded. The Flash/Blast Suppressor is normally stored inside the rifle case, but is often found in the rectangular foam cutout of the day optics case, or more commonly in the base latrine.

This is an older post, but what I think ilikebmxbikes was referring to is the small circular cutout about 3/4" or 1" in diameter in the first attached pic (See white arrow). I have the iron sights rear aperture sitting in that small hole (to the left of the red lens cover), but that is not correct as that hole is for a cleaning item. (You are correct re the larger round cut-out, but he was referring to the small hole on far left of optics case - see last attached pic).
What is supposed to go there is most likely the small bottle of lens cleaner solution shown in the original TM, as shown in the other attached pics. I think the original subcontractor in late 1980s/early 90s was a company called 'Scope Mate,' but they seem to be defunct at this point...I recall looking for that bottle, but had no luck. (Also never found the proper ARD cover for my vintage EMA laser reflection lens, which is what that red lens cap is for).
Hope that makes sense as to which round cut-out the original poster was referring too.

I have the Otis lens kit (surprisingly tough to find) so I've just tossed one of the flash hiders in that spot.
My misread on the correct hole. Thx for correction info.
ilikebmxbikes, regarding the carry case, are these the areas that identify one cut for the MARS rail?

Correct, one is a cut for the front of the MARS and the other is the indent from the little attachment wing.
Very nice
. Someday I'll summon the energy and patience to try and put a deployment kit together.

Mine didn't come with any left-over cool paint, hardly any left and what's there is green. I have been tempted to give it a krylon treatment but just haven't gotten around to it I guess... I did manage to score an Eagle stock pack that was used in Iraq.
It shoots great, but mostly just hangs on the wall... haven't shot it since June of 2020, less than 300 rounds thru it as I always seem to take an M40 of some sort to the range instead.

i wouldnt hit that thing with any paint. looks pretty bad ass. if you are tempted to paint it, i have a cleaner m24 take off stock i would swap you + cash for - but again, i think ur stock is beautiful.
I want to put together the Advanced Deployment kit. I have the mildot master and dwyer wind meter in MPH. What are the other components? I really can't find much info on the equipment. Who made the ammo pouch, stock pack, ect. My google-fu be weak...

PR Gen II Mildot
While not needed and never used, the deployment hard cases are a nice-to-have for 'completeness'. It's good for internet pics I guess. However, the EI hybrid shooting mat / drag bag sees heavy use.
posted these two in the older m24 thread. Might as well post them here too. Have a third m24 coming, which will have the flashhider and a surplus pvs10.
Top Rifle -
Older C prefix era stock, earlier contract Era G prefix action, MIRS 0 moa, 4.5-14x40mm F1 Mildot (mk13 mod 2 scope). This stock had masking marks from wearing a MIRS earlier in its life so seemed perfect for a ranger build. The action really should be a C prefix, but dont have one yet, and the rail covers the serial, so the earlier style 'Remington 700 M24' markings, which look like a C, make it pretty convincible unless you look under the rail.
Bottom Rifle
more traditional mid/later G prefix contract era M24 barreled action
pic of the m2010s

My new purchase Remington m24 sws, it is legit US army m24 used in GWOT in Afghanistan. There is still a marking on scope # 84 as seen in picture, maybe it's a platoon or batch number to whom it was allotted.
