WhooHoo my new stock came in!

Post by DavidABQ »

I took advantage of the Remington Christmas sale; it was 35% off of pretty everything in their store. I picked up a shiny walnut BDL stock for my El Cheapo model 700. The El Cheapo plastic stock is now in the trash heap and now my El Cheapo Remington 700 is not so El Cheapo looking!

I think I got the photo link fixed.

I REALLY HATE that plastic stock. A good composite stock is a different matter but the PlasticoElCheapo has to go.

Just call me E. Fudd.

Humidity? What is that? We have to work to make things rust around here it is so dry.

You are correct about growing up back east.
It is a good place to be FROM!!!!!!!!!!! I am not opposed to a good composite stock but what was a CHEAP plastic stock, besides I got the Remington walnut stock for $230, delivered from Remington.

Yes chuckles, I paid good money for that stock. Trust me, it is several steps up from the ElCheapo Plastico stock it came with.

When I hit the lottery I will buy a McMillian stock like you have.
