Are Remington 700 Varmint stocks and regular stocks the same?Can I use a heavy barrel on standard 700 stock if I lapp it for a heavy barrel or is to small?
Ok that makes more sense. So you are trying to keep the wood but inlet for a larger barrel?I'm talking about the old 700 BDLs,wooden stock.

I digress, wood isn't my area of knowledge and disregard my previous statement. I was thinking synthetic originally.And aren't for sure how different the stocks are on standard and Varmint 700s,And how a stand stock would turn out if I lapped it for a heavy barrel.
Did you proceed with this? If so, how did it turn out. I have been wanting to re-barrel a 700 BDL with a carbon barrel for years now. I have been hesitant to do it, because I can't find any success stories and don't want to ruin my stock experimenting. Does anyone know if the forearm of a BDL Varmint Special stock is the same width as a BDL Magnum?Are Remington 700 Varmint stocks and regular stocks the same?Can I use a heavy barrel on standard 700 stock if I lapp it for a heavy barrel or is to small?
