I have a M700 in an HS Precision stock. It has a glued on recoil pad that's very thin. I'd like to replace it, but wonder if anyone knows what those stocks look like under the pad? I don't want to cut it off just to find out it'll be a big job to replace.
Gunsmithing HS Precision Recoil Pad
- Thread starter jlorensen
- Start date
The HS Precision stock that I fixed up last year was hollow in the middle. I'm pretty sure it came off a Model 700 Varmint, it had the thin recoil pad too. I installed a grind to fit recoil pad but cut some off the back to clean it up and not make the LOP too long.
I installed some screw in threaded inserts for the new recoil pad screws but these were mainly to provide clamping force when I glued the new pad on. I used regular two-part clear epoxy to do that, nothing to complicated.

As @Trigger Monkey showed with that great post, it's not terrible. My police model 700 stock was the same. I actually trimmed mine like a .5 inch and then put a recoil pad from a sps stock on there.
Much appreciated, and thanks for posting the pics!
Is that Magpul bottom metal? I have one and any pointers would be appreciated.
