Rem 700 Stock Compatibility

[Broc]

I recently picked up a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .223. Put 45 rounds down the tube so far and it is a shooter! As I had previously been told on the hide, the Hogue stock is a bit flexible and causes vertical stringing when I use a bipod. Anyway, I was wondering if I could drop this setup into a take-off H&S Precision 5R stock without any problems? My main concern was the barrel channel, but all of my research and searching on the hide suggests that it will fit fine. I just wanted to make sure.

Also, I was wondering if the H&S Stocks were inletted for the factory BDL bottom metal? Will this be compatible as well?

I'm new to modifying Remington 700's and I appreciate the help!

Thanks,

Re: Rem 700 Stock Compatibility

should be if the HS stock is a short action as well. Not sure on the factory bdl inlet though. You should be ok. Someone will come along and chime in on the inlet

The 5R and SPS Tac have the same barrel profile. The 5R and SPS are both BDL inlets as well.

Buy the stock, and bolt it on - you will be good to go.
