remington 710 stocks?
814241
Bound's hubby here:\n\nYour Remington 710 HAS a "pistol grip style" stock!\n\nNow, I believe that your Remington 710 is already "free-floated"! If you can slide a piece of composition paper along the barrel to the receiver, the barrel is "free floated". If the paper stops within 2 to 3 inches of the tip of the foreend, the barrel is mounted with a "pre-determined amount" of "up" pressure for accuracy. \n\nNow, your desire for an "adjustable cheek piece" stock. This type of stock is generally considered a specialty item for TARGET rifles. Sorry, but the rifle you have is NOT in the league of a target rifle ... and this type of stock is not readily available! Sounds like you are trying to turn your 710 into a target rifle ... that is like trying to turn a "Jack Russel" into a Saint Bernard! (It just ain't gonna happen!). Now, you can find a custom stock maker that will take your money and make the stock you want ... but you will be out much more than what your 710 cost!\n\nNow, what would be more expensive than the custom stock, would be the mechanism that finely adjusts the cheek piece, ... the last time I saw one (either a Anschutz or Walther's), the cost for the mechanism was close to $200 ... and that was about 5 years ago!\n\nHINT: What may better serve your needs (I am reading between the lines here) us a "high comb" stock, that would better raise your eye [by raising the cheek] to "scope height". The problem is ... stocks are not made for the "710", so you would need to buy a stock blank (see link) and have it inletted. By the way, 99.9% of all rifle stocks made today for bolt action rifles are of a pistol grip design!\n\nGood luck!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nIf I remember correctly, the Winchester Model 70 hunting guns require a degree of up pressure toward the tip of the forearm, while the "OLD" Model 70T target guns had free floated barrels. The Model 70, nicknamed the "Rifleman's Rifle" was Winchester's Mercedes Benz of rifles, and it is doubtful they would have let a sour shooter leave New Haven!\n\nI would suggest the following:\n* Check scope bases for tightness (remember, be liberal with the "locktite" or iodine!)\n* Check to make certain the scope rings are tight on the scope bases.\n* Bore sight the rifle for 100 yards - NOTE: I just got a Model 70 in .270 ... I think it may be a featherweight synthetic or a "shadow", and I was not happy with the way it bore sighted ... the stud would not stay in place in the bore!\n* After bore sighting, fire a three shot group at the target, with the target set 25 yards from the rifle ... it should print very close to "dead-on" ... then go for 100 yards.\n* When zeroing the rifle, do so with a good sling, and perhaps a rest ... do not let the rest touch the barrel, only the fore-arm!\n* If this does not work, call the good people at Browning who are providing customer support for the defunct Winchester line ... they will probably ask him to ship it to their facility at Arnold, Mo. for repair. \n\nGood luck!

.308, 7.62x39 are ok rifle cartridges for defense, 12 gauge buckshot is a lot safer/more deadly in a home environment though.  10mm/40 S&W/45 ACP are all fine pistol cartridges, 9mmx19 is a little underwhelming in my opinion.  As far as cheap goes, go for a SKS (7.62x39) and a 12 gauge remington 870 shotgun.  You can get both of these for about $425 total.  A good handgun is gonna cost you quite a bit more, don't buy the cheap stuff like kel-tec, you will be dissapointed.  Buy a brand name like S&W, Kimber, Para Ord., ect.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, be aware of the hunting laws where you plan to hunt. For example, Pennsylvania prohibits the use of semi-automatic rifles, hence the Garand would be useless. \n\nYou do not identify the conditions you will be hunting under. That will have a big bearing on your choice. Personally, I would recommend the .308 over the .30-06. In an average shooter's hands, both can be expected to drop game to 500 yards. Performance wise, they are near equals. \n\nWith respect to rifles, you get what you pay for. Of readily available bolt rifles, I would lean towards the Remington 700 line. Personally, I would suggest the 700 Varmint in .308, but for hunting alone a 700 BDL or a Model Seven in .308 would be quite sufficient. \n\nEDITED TO ADD:\n\nA point to consider ... Remington's 700 Varmint is the chasis for the U.S.M.C.'s M40 series sniper rifles. I built my 700 Varmint as a 1000 yard target rifle. I can place 20 shots at 1000 yards in under 14". With appropriate ammo, the round has sufficient terminal velocity to drop deer or similar sized game (Marine's have dropped untold number of men at this range). I know hunting deer at 1000 yards is irresponsible ... I just included this statement to show that it could be done! I do hunt with this rifle.\n\nAs an aside, if you are an American citizen, and meet the qualifications, you can purchase an M1 Garand from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (link below) starting at $300 and averaging $450, depending upon receiver manufacturer and grade!\n\nGood luck and good hunting.

Well I am a big fan of Savage rifles but to be honest they don't sell for as much used as say Remington, Sako, Browning etc...\nIf it's the plain grade version the price will be in the $300 range.

I second the Rem 710 for you. Can't go wrong and you can always trade it up in the future if you want, knowing you can get 80% or more of what you invested.  \n\nIt's a great beginner package, good quality and easy to operate and clean. \n\nStart with a bolt action gun. It will shoot better than you....meaning you can practice a lot from a bench rest and work on your shooting skills without dealing with the complexities of a semi-auto. \n\n30.06 is a good calibre. Easy to find and cheap practice ammo and it will serve to hunt just about anything you want in North America. Don't be seduced by any of the Magnum calibres. They are often more than is needed and can be expensive to practice with. They are in my book just "macho toys" for big boys.

Remington 700 in 7mm magnum.

I go with a bolt action; Remington 700, Savage's model 16, or the model 10/110 also from Savage.  All rifles from Savage come from the factory ready for optic sights(scopes) and have the bbl floated(from the factory.  Floated bbl's are more acurate.  Don't look at price when looking for ammo.  You get what you pay for.  Premium ammo costs more but it shoots and performs better.  Save the cheap stuff for practice.  When it comes to caliber, here are my picks: .270 Winchester Short Magnum(my round of choice that I have killed 2 Caribou and a Dall Sheep in Alaska with; very fast, very accurate to well over 500 meters{I've done 1MOA goups at 800m durring practice a couple of times, it's hard to find a civillian range that has the ability and space to let you shoot past 200m.... big brother and I just went out into the AZ desert somewhere and shot}, enough ass to kill all game but Kodiak bear and probibly moose), .30-06 Springfield(old but old for a reason... IT WORKS!), .308 Winchester(7.62x51, the round of choice for precision Haji hunting and US med. machine guns), .300 Winchester Magnum(hits hard, shoots straight, requires getting used to the recoil, will kill anything, excellent round overall), .270 Winchester(another good all around cartiridge, it's kinda a small .30-06, been around for a while and that means ammo is readily available), and any variant of 7mm(accurate and powerful, but I don't have much experience with it.  I just know some guys that love it).  Don't go for any 7.62x39.  That round loses alot of ass/accuracy after 300 meters.  Train yourself to be surgical at 500 and you will be golden come hunting season.  It's the Indian not the arrow my friend.

Nice review on this site\n\nhttp://explodingstocks.com/blog/?p=68

i have 2 ruger 10/22s a remington 597 and a marlin model60. I agree you can deck out the 10/22 to look pretty sweet but anything over 10 round mags fail often and jamb frequently, acurracy is also an issue, the 597 is a nice rifle for the money but remington hasnt improved the magazine flaws yet thusly the jamb also the marlin model 60 BY FAR the most popular 22 LR in the world...more of them sold than any other very accurate I have owned mine for over 12 years and not once has it failed

I rock the Stiffi on my Ion and my featherlight viking.  All american barrels are garbage, trust me, I was a SP tech and they are just like any other.  The stiffi is SUPER LIGHT and accurate, and you can shoot through any break you have.

Check www.gunbroker.com to see what they sell for. It sounds good to me. I had one a few years back, ate buckshot and birdshot with no problems. I think I still have a pistol grip and heat sheild that I never put on it. It was stolen with my vehicle, sad to say and never replaced it.

my favorite in a handgun has to be a ruger vaquero 44 mag now i also like a colt commander in .45 acp. in rifles i buy cheap but what is cheap?im not going to purchase a kimber nor a weatherby. to much cash for a gret rifle and if it has that great looking barrel etching and the stock engraving why bother?i would probably be looking for anything that would scratch the rifle and harm the wood instead of hunting.i buy remington with the carbolite stock i have a few in the 700bdl and i dont have to be worried about marring the finish or scrstching the stock.a new custom stock for a 700BDL in the .300 magnum is roughly 359.00 but you add s/h to it will be over 400 bucks.this is a price from cabelas
