I actually have an idea about using a wooden stock off of a Remington 700. None of the holes or inlets will line up. I want to hog out that section of the stock and basically glass bed the action and trigger Assembly, with glass. I would mill out the forearm and insert carbon rods and also tie in the rear stock in the same fashion. I figured it would be fun to play with a stock I am not using, to see if I could make a rigid platform, for pennies. I am looking forward to breaking in a new barrel, and tinkering with some loads. I am sure I could kill a woodchuck or coyote with it just the way it is...but that would be boring.
I can understand what your saying, an old stock just laying around wouldn't cost much of anything but some time.
But like fixing up a house, best pick a good neiborhood to do it for best all round results. Otherwise, you will just own a nice house.
