If you buy remy's cheap stuff, you get just that, but Ill put their SPS stainless, against rugers "All weather" any day. Rems grey satin SS finsh blow rugers tool marked scratchy brite finish hands down. The jeweled bolt is way nicer than rugers bolt too. the fit and finish on a ruger is more comparable to what savage was putting out before the accutastock series (too bad they dont comper accuraccy wise. anyoneone who thinks ruger makes high quality guns hasnt owned many other guns IMO.
I like the look of those laminate stocks. Got one on my 700 ADL .30-06 from about 20 years ago. Replaced it with one of their black stocks though... hated getting it scratched up climbing in and out of blinds, etc. I've got 4 700's, the oldest being 25+ years old, and the most recent being 2 years old. Every one has performed quite nicely, and will shoot better than I can...
