Broke my stock!!!!

[bradb]

I would fix the stock and there are some good stock people up your way. Mcmillians and manners are great replacements
Clarktar before you do a Pendelton let me tell you my story and I can get you more then just mine. Not on this post

Jacob,

If it were my rifle I would kind of like to keep the stock and get it replaced. You should be able to get it fixed with a glue/epoxy and pin job. The pin will help keep the crack closed and will give lateral strength.

One thing to keep in mind, since it is a tack driver, is that a lighter stock will reduce the rifles mass which will increase the felt recoil and may also affect its accuracy. It may not be worth the weight reduction.

I recently shipped a wood stock for work (my dad's 1964 Weatherby) to Jim Clark of Western Hunter Classics.

Since you only have to ship the stock, it's basically just a piece of wood, so it's light, inexpensive to ship, and you don't have to go through an FFL. Just box and mail. I shipped the stock across the country for $16. So, don't let geography hold you back.

Jim specializes in custom stock work, including repairs and refinishing, and even does some work for the Weatherby Custom Shop. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful to work with. And, his prices were reasonable (roughly matching or even cheaper than some closer to home). This is the kind of expertise I would look for when having a family heirloom like yours repaired. A perfect fit and finish that will preserve your family's firearm as well as get you back in the field with it.

As you might guess, if it were me, I'd repair it. There's a lot of history with that stock/rifle, and you already know it's a tack driver with that stock! This will be just another story to tell with that rifle.

I have checked into getting it repaired, looks like with refinishing it would run me almost $400 which is quite a bit more than I was hoping to spend.

I only even take my rifle with me the last week of season seeing as I'm primarily a bowhunter, the rifle is used solely to put meat in the freezer. Was kind of hoping to find a less expensive option if possible

How do I figure out exactly what stock I would need? I don't have a lot of experience with rifles and am not sure which one I would need. Found a Bell & Carson Medalist 700 BDL. Not sure what BDL stands for. Thanks for all your help and I'm sorry if that sounds awfully ignorant, I'm more of a bow guy but would like to have a rifle just in case.

What bottom metal do you have ?, if it's a hinged floor plate that swings down you have a BDL. You need a Remington LA BDL ( LA= long action ) with a factory magnum sporter contour. Just about any Remington aftermarket sporter is going to fit. If there is just a trigger guard on the bottom and you have to unload it by cycling the action then it's an ADL LA. Plenty of inexpensive stocks available. As you are probably not in a huge rush you could keep an eye out on the 24hr campfire classifieds and find a factory take off pretty inexpensive. I saw some HS Precision factory take offs yesterday offered for $200. See MacMillans for $300 pretty regularly that need a coat of paint if you are picky. Watch a couple of videos and post some questions and we'll walk you through glass bedding it if you want. It sounds more involved than it is.

If its a 700 BDL, contact Remington and see what a replacement stock would be. I'm thinking around $225.00 area for a wood replacement. Before I put it on though I would have a gunsmith pillar and glass bed it. It's worth the extra dollars to do that! Another good option would be to look at Boyds gunstocks. They have walnut and laminates that are finished and you can select different checkering options. They make a very good product!

There are some old Six Enterprises synthetic stocks around for your rifle that are decent and cheap. There's a guy on Accurate Shooter.com asking $105 shipped. They're fiberglass reinforced injection molded stocks. Not the most beautiful of stocks but some bulldog paint adhesive and the krylon colors of your choice and you're golden for late season meat runs.

I have a 700 long action magnum adl stock (no floor plate) that I bought on accident . I needed a regular long action. It's been siting for 3 yrs. never been used. I'd send your way for $60. PM me if interested.

 

[Jacob Chapman]

Elk fitness it tried to send a pm with my info, not sure if it worked but I'm interested

Although tough as nails B&C stocks are usually heavier than others by a lot - McMillan, Manners, Bansner, and many others will give you a good lighter than original synthetic stock of good quality and you can repair the original and keep it in the safe for winters in the gun case - "one" of the good things about Remington 700's is that they are like the "chevy small blocks" of the rifle world in that there are an infinite number of aftermarket parts available

 

[GKPrice]

I just now saw the post by Shrek - those are great stocks and the price stated is a killer deal

 

[Shrek]

GK , those are the old super stiff ones that were good enough to keep on your rifle. All the newer plastics are garbage put on to get them out the door as cheap as possible.

I have a wood LA BDL stock of the same vintage. It's in good and OEM with the exception of having a pachmyer decelerator pad installed. It's just sitting around. It's yours if you want it. Just PM me your address and I'll throw it in the mail when I run to fed ex on Wednesday.
