[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1030041, member: 5219"] I bought one for a SPS LA Rem 700 and was so happy I bought a second for a SA model 700. Tried both stocks without bedding after torqueing front action screw to 40 in/lb and rear 35 in/lb. Both rifles shoot very accurately. On one stock some wood was removed so the notch underneath was very close to swivel stud. Using a 1" forstner bit I hollowed out the stock in two places. Drilled two parallel holes in rear of stock then chiseled out the web. Also drilled into bottom of grip then glued in a wafer of wood. Stock lost approx. 7 oz. Thanks for sharing that you had the pad changed. Think I will call them and see what custom options they offer for this stock. If there was a complaint with this design it would be the angular shaped recoil pad. Would prefer it to be the usual oval. Also it would be great to have a second option of a standard tapered lower part instead of the notched shape. Can't complain too much as the black painted version is $125 shipped. [/QUOTE]
