Has anyone used a ramline stock?
I'm thinking of getting one in cammo for a Stevens 200 22-250 and was wondering if they are worth buying or not.

Put one for a 700 on a Rem 722. Worked pretty well, I liked it. It didnt change accuracy levels from the factory wood but it was bedded and floated. I think its better than the the factory composite stock on my Savages. Hope that helps.
 
I put one on a Rem 600 with a pac-Nor barrel and it works just fine, have had it on a couple of years, no problems.
It's very accurate and stable, I need to have a rifle with a 12 1/2" pull and didn't feel bad about whacking this one off.

I've had pretty good luck with Rem and Savage factory stocks. I just make sure they don't bear on the barrel (lots of clearance) and I don't use a pod or sling to shoot.

None, you could slide two business cards stacked up right down to the recoil lug. Action is fully bedded from lug to tang.

I did a Rem 721 in 35 Whelen into a Outers Cadet stock and it is working well also.

Interesting. I've had better luck with forend tip pressure on tupperware stocks. I usually do not bed them, but usually replace them. I have a Rem 7 and a Savage 93 that shoot exceptionally well with the as issued stocks, but both have forend tip pressure. The other two Savages I sold, a 16FSS and a 10fp both also shot well with forend tip pressure.

I can totally see how your way would work also, as long as the barrel is floated high enough so that the stock does not flex and touch it when rested.......
 
I have used the tupperware stocks successfully by putting them in the mill and milling out the barrel channel to give at least 3/16 to 1/4 clearance.

With the Savage stocks, I cut out the baffling, and layed in some shortened carbon fiber arrow shafting. Then, I poured in some Accraglas bedding epoxy and let it set up. I put two layers of duct tape on the bottom side of the barrel to provide clearance until the epoxy sets up.

The epoxy and arrow shafting provided enough stiffness that I have no problems with the forend flexing enough to come into contact with the barrel, even when using my Harris bipods and twisting the gun to level them out.

I did put some undercuts on each side of the barrel channel to aid in holding the epoxy, though. The Savage stocks are known for not holding epoxy well.
 
I have one that came on my 7mm RM Weatherby Vanguard. It has been used in the mountains and plains, bumped by mules, and jostled in pickup trucks, and it has worked well for me.

Gun shoot shoots as good now as it did 20 years ago when I got it, ugly but functional!

I got one for my daughters Rem. Model 7 243. Sent it to Jack Roberts and had him piller and glass bed it and open up the barrel channel. Not the best choice in the world, but better than the factory crap that was on there and affordable.
