I read somewhere that the original 700P model had a wood stock, does anyone have any idea when they changed over to the HS precision stock and/or pictures of it's original wooden stock?

Re: 700P with wood stock?
I think the 86 700P was a close copy of the 68 M40.
Heres my M40 Commemmorative.

Re: 700P with wood stock?
thanks Scott! out of interest would it be possible to take side by side comparison shots for the 700P and your M40 Commemorative?

Re: 700P with wood stock?
The M40 stock was a copy of the Varmint Special stock that also was introduced in '66. It had no tenite tip, grip cap or checkering and used an oil finish instead of the high gloss poly.Forend tip was more rounded or shaped like the tenite piece of the Varmint Special models.
The 700P stock is a copy of the mid to late '80's ADL stocks which had the somewhat 'flat' forend tip that angled rearward at the top. These were the ADL versions with wider forend and had the cut checkering not the pressed in stuff. Believe all the 700P wood stocked rifles were in the C prefix serial number series.
These stocks below were takeoffs from a PD in NY state that replaced them with HS Precisions. I also have a brand new one never installed on a rifle I acquired a while back but couldn't upload pics currently from photobucket for it.
Respectfully,
Dennis

Re: 700P with wood stock?
No bedding. Just like any other Rem factory 700 with wood stock, front pressure pad and all. Also plastic butt plate with removeable insert. Uncle Mike's type swivel studs and not Wichita's.

Re: 700P with wood stock?
I had one that I bought in 1986 from a gun show in Houston Texas. At the time I really didn't know much about it but it was a pretty decent shooter. I had it bedded and the trigger worked on. I actually sold it to a friend this year and he took the barreled action and sent it to Karl Kampfield and had it tricked out. I sold the stock to a fellow on the Hide so he could use it for another build.

Re: 700P with wood stock?
There's one for sale on the popular auction site. It's not mine but I saw it yesterday. Ends in about 8 hours and is only at $680.

If you want the look of wood and the performance of an aluminium bedding block, Accurate Innovations may be what you are looking for.

I have considered this for my hunting rifle.

Re: 700P with wood stock?
Oneshot-onekill:
Saw the one listed. So, buy that and round the fore-end on the stock. Add an aluminum butt plate and a pair of Wichita swivels, get a Redfield 3X9 Accurange and you’re in the “M40’ish Club”. Good enough for most!
Not a Clone Spec. Build M40 as that’s another story money wise.
