My .17
Predator

The Rifle – Stock
In recent years I’ve been using quite a few rifles all setup in the same
stocks, using the same barrel contour, same scopes and same trigger
settings. I’ve just found a basic hunting rifle setup that works very well
for me, and by having these rifles all setup very close to the same, I’ve
found it easy to switch from one rifle to the other and without the need for
getting “reacquainted” with things like stock fit, eye relief or trigger
pull. The result, for me, has been better shooting in the field with a
variety of calibers.
The stocks on these
rifles are the Remington Classic factory pattern – both in synthetic copies
by McMillan and original factory walnut versions. The factory Rem. Classic
stock fits me well, and fits my style of carrying and shooting a hunting
rifle in the field very well too. So a call was made to the nice folks at
McMillan and another Rem. Classic pattern stock (in desert camo), inletted
for the Model Seven action and bottom metal was ordered.
