Like was said on the previous reply, you need to look for a stock to fit this:
Remington Short Action BDL
Right Hand?
Factory varmint contour barrel.

Other differences are cosmetic. The BDL has (or used to have) a jeweled bolt body.
If you want, you can buy a stock designed for the ADL. In some cases that is the only way they come. For instance the Plaster Ultimate Varmiter stock has an internal well and they tell you in the instructions that you can either utilize ADL magazine spring or modify your BDL magazine well pieces to work..

Not sure what sort of money you are looking at but Boyds has a laminate thumbhole prefinished drop in stock that looks real good. If you like thumbholes it is as good as anything out there. Runs about $200
Choate makes the Plaster ultimate varmiter and ultimate sniper stocks. They have a vertical grip and (I think) are what you are talking about. They also have an internal aluminum bedding block similar to what the high dollar HS Precision stocks utilize to make the rifle shoot real good without needing to be glass bedded. For the money they are a great shooting stock as long as you can put up with the unconventional styling. It also costs about $200 or a touch less.

Choate has 2 stocks which are up your alley. The Ultimate Varmint Stock and the Ultimate Target & Sniper Stock. Both are available for the Rem 700 SA Heavy Barrel. Either runs $176.00 plus shipping from Choate Machine & Tool, Inc.

When it comes to stocks & guns, I believe only one thing...Buy what fits. If a gun or stock fits you, you will shoot better and be happy. If it does not fit, it will not shoot well and you will be unhappy. Try different guns / stocks and buy what fits.
Good Luck

I am curious, is your factory stock damaged or something? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
Why change a thing of beauty.
I agree.
Through an odd set of circumstances, I was able to buy a Rem 40-XBBR in 6mmBR, new, unfired, for $700.
But I'm not a benchrest shooter, so I sold the McMillen BR stock to a friend for $150, and was given a free Rem factory Varmint Laminated stock that had been taken off to replace with a thumbhole.
After fitting the VL stock to the much fatter barrel, it is a sweet rig - it is a good stock. Why do you want to change it?

Nothings wrong my my factory stock I just prefer the look of something a little more tactical looking.
Well... that's different. You should have stated "tactical".

This is the stock for the current military sniper rifle, the M-24.
The stock will fit your rifle like a glove, and you can get it in many different camo color patterns.
I have built 3 rifles with it and it's a great stock.

All of the stocks listed at this LInk (Midway USA) will fit your rifle. There are 180 listed with descriptions of each.
Beware of plain plastic stocks. In my opinion, they are not stiff enough.
I would go with the H.S. Precision near the bottom, which has an aluminum bedding block and does not require any bedding. Bell and Carlson also now has aluminum bedding blocks in some of their stocks (and lots of colors too), but I have no experience with B&C stocks.
