Hello,
I have a Remington 770 that I was hoping to restock, what are the options for that other than Boyds (nothing wrong, just already know of them), Can you put it in a Magpul chassis? Thanks.
 
I believe that boyds is the only option for that particular rifle family.

if your looking to do upgrades on a rifle, I'd suggest switching to a different model, the 710/770 has very little aftermarket support.
 
I wouldn't waste my time or money trying to upgrade that rifle. Most of them shoot well enough, but anyway you look at it they are cheap disposable rifles. If a part breaks you trash them. Even a replacement factory stock costs more than the rifle is worth.
 
When I had my Remington 770, my goal was to make it into a good rifle. However I quickly learned there was not enough good about the rifle to build around. External magazine and polymer stock, and that is where the things I liked about it ended. The feed ramps were tough and it fed horribly. The scope was too expensive at free. And overall quality was so poor, I found better fit and finish in firearms made in the Khyber pass.

Sell it and find a new project. There are plenty of other Remingtons you can build around if you are particularly brand loyal. Savage are very nice rifles to customize.

I have a 770 as a back-up/loaner. They work for what they are as a lowest cost budget hunting rifle. They really are not candidates for upgrades, with no real aftersale support or parts. I definitely do not recommend putting $100's into a $175 gun. The end result will be inferior to a stock entry level gun from another manufacturer. If you want to upgrade, get another platform.
 
Do the 770's still come with the soft, bendy plastic bolt? I hated mine and sold it at a loss the next day after I realized what I had done. Not hating or snobbing your rifle, it will function and put deer in the freezer, I would just advise against putting any money into it. It would be very unfortunate for someone to spend $300 on an aftermarket stock when for maybe that same amount or close to it will get you an awesome rifle that would have more aftermarket build potential than what you currently have. But to answer your question as it stands I know of not one single aftermarket part for the 770. Good Luck

Didn't have that issue with mine although it wouldn't surprise me if that was an issue somewhere in production. My 770 was essentially a single shot rifle due to poor feed ramp design. I did a fluff and buff job with minimal improvement. Wasn't worth a trip to the gun smith for such a cheap rifle.
 
With apologies to the youngsters here, the 770 is Remington’s version of the IBM PC Junior.
