Is this your rifle?
http://www.remingtoncustom.com/HunterGrade_7CustomMS.aspxIf it is I have been lusting for one myselfe. Could you bring the quality issues to Remington and see what their reply is. maby try for a non laminate replacement stock. Remember what you have is about as good as it will get in performance.

That is indeed my rifle except in .257 Roberts. Awesome looking gun from ten feet away, just not once its laying in your hands and your looking down at it.
Agree with SDH's that this may be a monumental undertaking. However, I'm not totally in this alone. My local gunsmith builds 1,000 yard benrchrest rifles and has said he is more then willing to help me through this. I've got a really wonderful stick of very hard quartersawn Claro that is 40" long and fiddle from head to toe as they say. However, I'd like to go for english if I can summon the courage to pay for it.
We will see where this goes. SDH, I'll take a look at the mannlicher your referencing. BTW, I've got both of your doublegun books. They are always close to my computer and I have followed your guidance on what to look for in a stock blank and that has kept me from making some very stupid mistakes.
