700 SA Hunter Stock
Excellent budget upgrade for the Remington out of the box stock. The addition of a QD mounts on both sides of the butt stock would be a great addition to the versatillity of this stock.
too heavy
I wanted a stock/magazine well combination for my M700 .308 sporter weight rifle that accepts AICS 10 round mags. This stock filled that bill. I can live with the oversized barrel channel. My complaint is that the name of this stock is the "Hunter." Believe me, you do not want this to carry as a hunting rifle unless you're shooting prairie dogs at 200 yds plus. It's just too heavy. The price, however, is reasonable. I'd love to see a stock like this that weighs about two pounds less. Stay safe.
Easy Inststall
Just put the Magpul Hunter 700 stock on my Rem 700 .308 AAC-SD. As previously reviewed by others, it was a drop in fit. It feels great and I can't wait to put some rounds down range to see the improvement over the factory stock. I did not give it 5 stars due to a couple issues. There are several places on the centerline on the stock where gaps are present. As best I can tell they, I don't think they will affect anything, they're just a bit unsightly. If anything negative arises out of it I'll update this review as needed. Also, some reviewers have stated the factory stock screws weren't long enough eventhough Magpul says they should be. I also ordered a set of the extended screws but was pleased to find out they weren't needed. In my case the factory screws were plenty long enough. Otherwise I'm very pleased and will continue to buy Magpul products. Unfortunately I could not get pictures to upload. Ill update review if I can get it figured out.
Second the previous review
The previous review was spot on. Order a longer rear action screw and cut to length for the front. Also the barrel channel is for a heavy varmint contour barrel.
M-Lok device installs are a challenge
Installing M-Lok devices in this stock are a challenge due to the blind/trapped cavities in which they are placed. If the T-nuts arent seated perfectly before tightening, they will spin and chew away at the cavity lip.

I Love O.D. Green
A good looking low cost replacement stock for heavy barrel Remington 700s. I first tried it with my Remington VTR and that was a mistake. The fat round target/varmint barrels fit and look real nice in this stock. I ended up using a new 700 Varmint ADL. The only issue or problem I found was the original action screws are short for this stock especially the front one. I ordered a new Remington factory rear action screw from Brownell's part # 767-000-051. The rear screw is the same thread pitch as the front one and is longer. I cut and filed it to fit which gave more thread contact and a more secure hold in the front near the recoil lug. Also If you plan to use an aftermarket trigger with this MAGPUL stock do yourself a favor and buy the one made by TriggerTech (Brownell's part # 100-018-029).
Overall very pleased
Overall great stock but needed a little improvement. I purchased the stock, along with the magazine well and extra magazines, plus various M-Loc fittings for bipod mounting and quick detach sling swivels. My Remington 700 AAC-SD in .308 Winchester fit into it perfectly. The standard cheek piece seems perfect for using my Vortex 6-24X50 scope mounted with medium high rings. The HARD rubber butt pad was very painful to use on the bench rest. Even at over 11 pounds total weight, the gun has more felt recoil than I expected. That, coupled with the very narrow footprint of the existing but plate, made an extended range session very painful. There is a solution. Brownells sells the adaptor to replace the adjustable butt plate with one designed to fit the Magpul stock for the Remington 870. This adapter accepts a standard ready fit recoil pad designed the fit the synthetic Remington factory stocks for the 870 and the 700. This adapter, Brownells 100-009-579, will fit the Hunter 700 stock. I installed the Limbsaver recoil pad which is very soft and has a much larger footprint to spread the recoil to the shoulder. Shooting the rifle is now much more pleasant. Other than the recoil pad, there is nothing about this stock that I do now like.
GOOD!
Got this product recently, install was a breeze. Saw this at the magpul booth at SHOTSHOW 2015 and fell in love. Good alternative to expensive magazine accepting chasis. Ill be receiving my magazine well part this thursday. This beats the garbage houge stock my Rem 700 came with. 0 feed problems so far.
