It says "could be modified for use".

There is no opening for the magazine. At the very least that would have to be done. I have no idea how many other modifications would be needed. It might be simple enough, might not. I'd not buy it unless I knew it were a simple fix.

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't want it period. Can't like the Hogue stocks at any price, but that is just me. Some do.
 
I wouldn't do it.
There's no way of knowing what Hogue may have omitted from the stock, since it's just a display.

Double your money, and you can get the real thing when it's on sale.

Plus... you'd probably have to buy the parts to convert your rifle to the BDL, since your existing parts are unlikely to work in Hogue's stocks (I don't see an ADL stock in their product line).
 
Go to Boyd's stocks and by a great laminate stock in the design and color you like. Boyd's stock are great for a light clean .22 but for a centerfire rifle there not much than a ram line unless it has the aluminum bedding frame in it and its ready to go.
 
I may just do that, NC; thanks - got this Rem 700 ADL with crap plastic stock in trade a few days ago... not sure whether to keep or sell it. Kinda want to keep it but if I do, want to keep it fairly lightweight.
 
I bought my daughter one of those ADL packages at one of the big box stores. Came with a cheap Simmons scope. Oddly enough it is the most accurate rifle we own. Might want to shoot it first though I agree, they aren't the prettiest.
 
Those cheap stocks shoot just fine, and are relatively lightweight. I use McMillans on most of my rifles, but I've never noted a bit of accuracy gain after swapping. For one thing, I'm not spending $500 or more on a stock until the rifle proves it is a shooter. Lots of guys try to justify the expense of an aftermarket stock by hoping it will make them more accurate.

Truth is the better aftermarket stocks are about 1/2 lb lighter than even the factory synthetics, they look and feel better. But will most likely not shoot any more accurately. The cheaper aftermarket stocks such as Hogue are just swapping money. You spend $200 and get a different, often heavier stock, but not any better than the factory stock.
