McMillan has a fair number of sporter-type stocks for M700s; I have the Remington Classic, Remington Sporter, Remington Mountain Rifle, Remington KS, and a sort of hybrid tac/sporter called the A3 Sporter.

Well, I have the most experience with Mickey (McMillan) stocks, and they are about as custom as you can imagine. Even to the point of ending up with an ill-handling rifle... too much barrel weight, without corresponding weight at the butt of the stock, leading to a rig that wants to nose dive.

Generally, .223, .308 and '06 based chamberings are a Remington Standard Sporter, belted magnums are a Mag Sporter, and Remington Varmint profile barrels are sort of an accepted standard. LVSFs are generally a fluted Magnum Sporter, and Mountain Rifles are, uh, Mountain Rifle profile.

I doubt you are asking me but what the heck. Of the 4 posted above I really like the OD green one, but if I had to pick out one from this whole topic it would be the J. Allen one(not that I could ever afford a $600 stock but wouldn't mind having it at all.

Which one do y'all like?

I have only tried a few out so far on my remington 700 aac-sd but so far I really like the new CHOATE tactical stock. For the price I don't think you can find a more solid stock (although it is heavy).

Probably the Classic, but I like them all. I've not installed the KS on anything yet.

I got the chance to see the new Accuracy International Chassis System called AX at the Shot Show today. The first thing that I noticed about the stock was how light it was, it seems to be much lighter then their previous stock. However the one thing that I have a problem with is the trigger guard. It seems that the mold leaves a ridge where the two halves meet. This ridge makes it uncomfortable to use without the use of any sort of glove on. I'm sure you could just take file and smooth it out but for the ~$1,500 price tag I would expect to be a bit more flawless.

WOW, that looks amazing!

I hear you on the finishing though. For the price, you'd think it would be perfect out of the box...

20" AICS 700 SPS Tactical .223

It looked awesome and felt much lighter but the rough finish really put me off from wanting one. If you wear gloves it wouldn't be a problem but I rarely do.

Hey everybody. Really nice setups on here and just getting into the R700...I know many of you have learned from mistakes as you went along and I know ive read so much on the different models that i am now overloaded.
End result I want a 300 win mag platform on an AICS chassis with a 26 inch heavy barrel...

My path to it is where i have a question and want advice. Since the chassis are sooo expensive I was thinking about buying a setup that is scalable when im ready to drop it into a chassis. Or just biting the bullet and piecing it together... Here is the thing. I like the original look of the 700p type setup. I dont mind that look if I choose to upgrade the stock later on down the line. So here are my questions.

Would it be better to get a rifled action with heavy barrel then buy the AICS stock to drop it in? To prevent buying a crappy stock i dont need?

I also understand that you must upgrade the DM magazine when upgrading to the AICS or equivilant chassis....

I also see that there are the 700 SPS DM model I think where the Droppable magazine is already included in the platform. Would this be a good choice for when i get the AICS I wont have to spend $300 on a magazine setup? Also for the path of where I want it in the end If I get a 700p I hear that it is the same action and barrell as the 700 sps varmint rifle just the stock is crappier. Is this true? What is different with the 700p and the 700 sps varmint?

Sorry if all the info is overload but these are all my thoughts. Should I just get the cheaper 700 SPS DM and then build it up to the AICS chassis or should I piece the rifle together with heavier barrel and the barrelled action if that even comes with a DM or droppable magazine and not have to waste a stock i wont use? Anyway im sure there are many ways to do this its just the cost and way you want customize items incorporated into my rifle.

Lol i swear the more i read the more confused I get im sure most have been there. PLease let me know your thoughts
