Dumb question - stock compatibility Defiance Deviant

[patriot07]

I have a Defiance Deviant Tactical 6.5 creedmoor I wanted to get the adjustable cheek piece added to the stock. I called LRI and they're $750-$1000 which makes no sense financially for me. Stock doc Joe is not taking work at the moment.

So I guess I'm debating selling this Manners and buying one with an adjustable cheek piece. So if I'm looking at used stocks on ebay, will any Rem 700 stock work or do I have to have one that's cut for a Defiance Deviant/AICS? I have only ever had Tikkas before, and it either fit a T3/T3x or it didn't and life was simple. The R700 world is new to me.

Appreciate your help

I'm pretty sure any short action 700 pattern Manners stock should fit, only areas that would maybe be an issue would be the bolt handle inlet and ejection port inlet not lining up perfectly.

Thank you

The other thing I'm realizing is there is a huge amount of bottom metals. The one on there has an RS logo. Is that Redsnake? It's not an option on any of the order pages. Is that a copy of one of the big name guys?

That sort of says to me that they really don’t want to do that kind of work. Wow.

I had Joe do a stock for me as did a friend of mine and we both have been happy w the job.

I think I did perhaps read that Joe is having a health issue or did I have that wrong? If so, I hope he’s better soonest.

Cheers

Yes having health issues and not taking work

Yeah they charge $350 for the work, $170 for the parts, and $250-$500 to re-paint the stock at the end. Absolutely insane
