Stock for 700 BDL

[mikethetiger55]

I recently inherited a 700 BDL in 7mm mag when my father passed away and I am interested in replacing the stock. The rifle is from the early 90's and is a great shooter, but the barrel is not fully floated in its original stock which is synthetic. I would like to try and keep the rifle in its current configuration (keep the original detachable mag) and currently the only real option I can find is from H-S Precision. The stocks seem to get good reviews but are there other options out there that I should consider? This will be my go to hunting rifle.

Also, I am sure this question has been beat to death but what are some good options for hunting triggers that won't break the bank?

Thanks

Have you looked at Grayboe?

I have not so I just went on their website. I know the H-S stock has an aluminum bedding block. Does the Grayboe have the same feature or will it require bedding? I didn't see mention of a bedding block on Grayboe's site but I may have missed it.

They have aluminum pillars at the action screws. I think bedding isn't necessary, but recommended.

Thanks for your reply. I have moved them to the top of my list.

What about a chassis like the KRG Bravo, probably have to get different magazines though..

What's 'break the bank'? Triggertech primary $145..

If you havent allready check out the B&C Alaskan II, I came across a really good deal on a like new M700 in 270 some years ago but didnt care for the stock and replaced it with one in OD with the black spider web. They have the full length bedding block in them and are a good stock for the price.

Stockys is also running a very good special on their composite accu block stocks right now.
