I bought one of the ADL 243s that has the matt finish and synthetic stock. I have read the plastic stock cost remington $5 each. They feel like a $5 stock too. My buddy has the same gun in 6mm.

We both bought a couple of the remington factory wood stocks that others had sold because they bought after market plastic stocks. My buddy paid about $65 and I paid $90 for my wood stock. I free floated the barrels and glass bedded both guns. These are far better stocks than the junk that came on the guns. They make the guns about 6-8oz heavier. Not a big deal.

Check with your gun dealer, gunbroker or ebay and you may find a deal on one. My stock looked flawless and unused. My buddies stock had a few minor dings in it. I also replaced the plastic trigger gaurd with a metal one from remington.

I don't they would fair too well being run over by a UPS truck. Thats OK. I don't hunt around UPS trucks anyway.
