HS Precision
McMillian
Boyd's Gunstocks
Richard's Microfit Gunstocks

Bell & Carlson

Any of the above each make a selection of stocks for the M-700, you just have to find one you like. As for the smaller than standard barrel taper, either you can just use one for a standard Remington taper and live with the slightly larger stock/barrel gap, or many of these stockmakers will custom inlet the barrel channel for your barrels taper. You just have to call them.

Mine is a 700 mountain rifle. the barrel is slimmer than a 700 BDL or ADL. The gun weighs about 6 3/4 lbs. without the scope. came from the factory with a tapered/lightweight barrel without sights. The ADL or BDL stocks probably won't work because the barrel is larger dia.
I saw that Midway is out of stock for the mountain rifle.
I'd like something composite. Would like a thunb hole if possible. The original is walnut.
I may end up having to spend more.
They are hard to find for this rifle.
