Rem. 700 stock question

[shardegree]

I just discovered that my go to ADL 700 in 30-06 has a crack in the stock. I am very disappointed as I have had the old school Kanes gun chaps on it for over 30 years. The stock is/was in perfect condition. My question is..I love the youth model feel of just about any gun, particularly the Model 7. Can I purchase a youth model long action, ADL stock and simply replace? Are there any issues with making this move to the smaller stock? Any advice would be appreciated. Thx!

I would call Remington and ask them...

Bummer about the old stock. If the stock has sentimental value, you could probably have it repaired.

As long as the new stock is a Model 700 long action ADL, it should fit without modification. Most youth/compact guns are built on a short action though, so there probably aren't a ton of stocks like what your looking for floating around. It might be easier just to order a stock from Boyd's and specify the exact length of pull that you want.

Yes- a call to Remington was my first move, but was on hold for an extended period of time, then chose their call back option. The call back never came.
I have found this .....
REMINGTON 700 ADL RH L/A CHECKERED SYNTHETIC YOUTH STOCK
on Numrich. It appears to match. I have just never made a stock adjustment, but know that the 700 is modified often. I knew there would be someone here that is much more knowledgeable than myself.

your talking about this stock ...it should work just fine. I have a L/A ADL synthetic but it isn't youth.

what long action calibers did they put youth stocks on?

I'd just repair the crack, then shorten it if you really want a shorter gun. I imagine it won't be that fun to shoot. Looks like several walnut 700 la stocks on ebay too, pick one up and refinish it is also an option.
