You normally cannot just change out the bottom metal. That stock will have to be milled to fit the new DBM.
I tagged Long Rifles Inc. That is who I would talk to.
Yeah, probably a 700 VS. What is the first letter in the serial number?
Doesn’t C-prefix make it early 1980’s or so? C-prefix long actions are what folks seek out for the Mk13 .300WM builds.
Doesn’t that predate the Sendero?
Though I think I remember that Remington prefixes rotate through the alphabet, so could also be mid 2000’s?
Cool rifle and, yes, Longrifles is a good place to start.

HS Precision makes replacement bottom metal with detachable magazines that fits the factory Remington BDL stocks. https://shop.hsprecision.com/product-category/parts-accessories/detachable-magazines/

C came back around in the early 90s I think. It should be a HS stock, but if it is a Sendero l, it will be a hinged floorplate anyway. It will have to be inlet for a DBM
As noted it’s a VS for sure, I sold a lot of these and the VSSF (varmint synthetic stainless fluted). The 700 Police stock wasn’t webbed, had two swivel studs and barrel was a 5r with faster twist, some were parkerized. Count your rifling to verify, if it’s 6, it’s a varmint but I’ve seen a few 5 on stock VS models. Should stabilize into 170’s gr fine but I know some varmint models didn’t do as well above 180. Others mentioned the inlet but I have done it myself with dremel and then bedded the bottom metal in to deal with the inevitable chips on edges that HS stocks are notorious for. Adds texture and you can make it look intentional with panels on grip and forend like a tac ops. Great rifle, shoot the hell out of it.
I have a 700VS 22-250 s/n 66944xx with 26: bbl. It was manufactured 1/1992. Also had a 22-250VS #C68624XX which I sold. Bill Hicks & Co is a wholesale distributor in Mn. I purchased some Remington 700 VS models from him in the late 1990's. He would special order 250 at a time from Remington (per a salesman at the time). He had 700 VS models with blue round barrels, fluted blue bbls, and VSSF bbls. The calibers that I know about were .220 Swift, .223, 22-250, 308 and 7 Rem Mag blue fluted. These were mfg from 1992-2004. I think the company is still a family owned business. Every rifle that I saw was very accurate.
Just a heads-up, your 700VS 22-250 with s/n 66944xx would have likely been produced around 1970 or so.
The 6 digit receivers were used on the original M40 builds in the mid to late 60s, and the 7 digit receivers were produced from the late 60s to early 70s. The “A” prefix serial numbers were in use by 1973 or so.
Hope this helps.
