RICHARDS MICRO-FIT STOCKS
« on: December 28, 2005, 03:11:04 PM »
Recently I posted on the small bore forum that I was interested in doing some modifications to a remington model 788 carbine chambered in 243. I was thinking of putting on a full length mannlicher style stock, but after reviewing the tack driver, or tacitcal series stocks from richards micro-fit I'm really interested in them. the rifle is to be for deer hunting from a tree stand(alway's rested) and varmit hunting. I'm a leftie shooter but prefer a short righty action as i don't have to change positions to operate the bolt from a rested position. Any reviews or advice will be greatly appreciated!!

The 788's were usually great shooters and I have owned several. My first rifle was a 788 and was the first stock I worked on.. The rifles are a bit heavy as the action walls were left pretty thick, but this aids the stiffness of the action. I would go with the mannlicher stock. I have a soft spot for rifles with wood to the muzzle. Use a laminated blank and lighten in areas that won't be structurally weakened by the lightening cuts. You will like the results..
