I have a Rem. Mod. 7 SS in .308 that I've had for about 6 years or so. I love the rifle, but the synthetic stock seems very flimsy to me. Especicially the forearm portion of it. It is so thin and the fit on the barrel is loose enough that it actually has warped or curved to where there is slight pressure being put on only one side of the barrel. Anyways, enough on the old stock.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that sold aftermarket stocks for this rifle. I would love to get a lamenent one like my VLS has, but I'm not sure if they are even made and if so, where. Any advice you guys have is appreciated.
I'm pretty sure boyds makes a laminated stock for model as well as remington and likely a bunch of other stock manufacturers.
try www.midwayusa.com or www.brownells.com

IMO nothing is as nice as blued steel and walnut. But, I just bought a 700LTR in 308 with a synthetic stock. This rifle comes factory with a VERY stiff H-S Precision stock. I cannot make the forend even budge towards the barrel even with a two hand grip. I think these stocks are part Kevlar. They have an alluminum bedding block formed into the stock for the action. This gun shot Federal Supremes with 168gr Sierra BTHP Matchking's into 3/8" at a 100yds for 3 shots. I think these stocks cost about 300-400 dollars but they seem to be worth it if you want an accurate stock that seems dang near indestructable. It could probably also be taken off the gun, used as a walking stick and boat or then put back on and hold it's zero. They are unbelievably stout!
