Looking for a 788 Stock

[winchester1917]

Hi there. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm trying to find a new stock for a Remington 788 short action. I'd go for something like a Ramline synthetic if they were still made and sold at a good price... or a nice wood stock with a decent cheek rest... Anyone know where I can find a decent deal? $120 for a used synthetic or basic birch stock one would not be worth it for me.

This should work

Yeah that one is ok, but I'd sooner just refinish the stock.
I find the 788's to be quite nice and worthy of something a little nicer than the stock...stock. [emoji16]

$129.00 from Boyd's. They're doing some decent looking stuff in assorted styles. Most of' em are laminates.
There are a couple walnut options from Gunparts and a swarm of 'em from Bob's Gun Shop(www.gun-parts.com). Most in the same price bracket as Boyd's. Some unfinished as well.

Ive been looking for a factory stock but have only found good after market ones, as mentioned Boyds.

I found this guy, site is a little wacky http://www.gun-parts.com/remingtonstocks/

And then there is Stocky's which I think look better than Boyd's. https://www.stockysstocks.com/long-range-sporter-thumbhole-stocks-remington-788.htm

Hmmm. I like the Boyd's. Thanks for the responses.

I've got a REM 788 in 223. It's a great little varmint gun and when I get done destroying the stock with dings and scratches I'll put one of these on it: https://www.stockysstocks.com/long-range-sporter-thumbhole-stocks-remington-788.html

Those are nice too. They seem a bit more suited for varmint/target use. But I guess having a thumbhole stock would be fine for deer hunting too.
