I’ll spare everyone the reason I am restocking but wil say that in fiddling with rifle and stock it is obvious that the stock was not made for my much older rifle barrel contour. I struggled to assemble it all because of shape and binding. Two hours with a dremel, file, and sandpaper and it...

If you hunt with it please dont use the 150 grain Winchester’s.

I had a Henry blued 45-70. Don’t remember the model but it was the “field” version. Used it as a deer gun in Ohio where we are allowed straight walled cartridges. It did the job and was great to 200 yards. Killed a dozen deer at 120 yds or less no complaints.

It is definitely good advice to shoot it first and see.

Thanks, I’m a newb on these things. I actual had to look up recoil lug. Lol. I’ll work it back to the receiver junction. I drew an arrow on the attached picture to where I plan to take it back to. there are some other fit problems but the rifle is fairly old so I don’t blame the stock...

As the title suggests, I have received my new bell and Carlson stock and have mounted it. A dollar bill can be slid easily most of the way between the stock and barrel in the direction of the chamber. It is not free floating all the way, making contact part way down. Befor I continue removing...

Thanks again for the comments. I didn’t want to distract from the subject at hand but I am trying to make my grandfathers rifle more accurate. I’ve been fortunate enough to harvest 15 species in three countries and two continents with it, all at relatively close range. Now it’s time to think...

Placed my order, I’ll report back when it is installed and tested.

Not dissatisfied with recoil at all. Just wanting to restock as it currently has the original wooden bdl stick with steel butt plate, just don’t want to make it worse!

Thanks. This is the first step in trying to accurize my grandfathers 06. 1964 ish model I’m looking at the bell and Carlson sporter stock. It seems to be fairly straight and I do like the cheek piece,

Correct, I found several references on the factors, but very little on how to make adjustments.

I read somewhere recently that stock shape and style affects perceived recoil. I can’t find it anymore so I am wondering if anyone knows of a resource? I am getting ready to restock my Remington 30-06 700bdl and am wanting to be sure I don’t increase perceived recoil.

Hello all! I’ve joined after a few weeks of searching the web for info on a project and found a lot of good stuff on this site. The search option is handy. I am primarily a hunter, not a target shooter. My project is my grandfathers 30-06 Remington 700. I have been using it for a while and...
