Default RE: 7600 Remington

ORIGINAL: Champlain Islander

I have a 7600 carbine in 30-06. I wanted a quick shooting gun for hunting the thick large tracts of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. I didn't want a scope and put on a Williams peep. The raised comb didn't allow for a good sight picture so I contacted Remington and they sent me a straight shotgun stock that matched my rifle's finish perfectly. The gun now closely resembles the older model 760 which came with open sights and a straight stock. I took out the screw in aperture on the peep, painted the ring of the peep red and installed a red firedot front bead. There is often snow when I use this rifle and red ring with a red dot in the middle of brown running on snow is quite a picture and allows pretty quick and accurate shooting. The eye centers the large ring on the peep and I can shoot the rifle very well up to 100 yds or even a little further which is plenty long enough when you are hunting the deep woods away from fields.
Was thinking of getting an '06 carbine myself. What size "fire sight" bead should I get? Also, what type of replacement stock did you get? I'm fairly tall and all the new 7600's have the monte carlo. I'm worried it'll mess up my picture after reading your post. Not sure what stock I should buy, the synthetic or wood.
