Grayboe composite stock
I'm planning on a hunting bolt rifle built around a Rem 722 action that's currently a 6mm Remington. I've decided to rebarrel it in 257 Roberts and I want a conventional, lightweight, composite stock without a cheek piece. Also, I'd like to stay in the $300 +/- neighborhood. Can't swing a McMillan.
I'm looking at Grayboe's website, and it checks all the boxes, but I've never heard of them. Anyone have any experience with their stocks or can suggest another maker? TIA

I have never used them, but they have a good reputation. Similar to Bell&Carlson in reputation. I find the cheaper brands often just have less sku’s, fewer inlets, little to no customization. Still good stocks I hear.
You might consider B&C too. Last edited by Nathan; June 13, 2020 at 05:23 PM. |

I've looked at them several times. Their Lightweight model keeps me peeking.
But from a manufacturers standpoint, they are missing out big time by only offering the Rem 700 and clone inletting!

I'm looking at the Outlander model for a sporter barrel profile. I'll give them a call before I order but I wonder if the forend is thicker than needed since they combine sporter/magnum together in the description. I'm not sure what that means. I'll report back after I talk to them.

More than likely it's a difference in the inletting for the barrel channel, not the outside forestock dimmension.
Magnum contour barrels being a little thicker than a "standard" sporter barrel.

I've never change stock on my 722. The floor plate is different on 722 vs 700 and not sure about magazine.
