WTS: Rem 788 Short Action Stock

[STOMP442]

I have a new in box Rem 788 short action Boyds lightweight thumbhole stock in forest camo. I screwed up and ordered a short instead of a long and rather than deal with Boyds on the return and paying a restocking fee I would rather sell to someone who needs it. This stock has 6.75" screw spacing center to center and will fit the .223 and .22-250 caliber 788s. This will also fit a few .243s depending on what year they were made check your screw spacing to know for sure. Asking $125 shipped to the lower 48.

If this will fit my 308 I will take,I need to measure it?

[STOMP442]

This will not fit a .308. The .308 will have a 7.00" screw spacing. This stock has 6.75" screw spacing. This stock was purchased for a .308 and I learned the hard way that the .308 is in fact a long action cartridge when dealing with the Model 788.

will it fit a 6mm?

[ScottAdams]

I can measure it when I get home today.

So I got a 243 rem 700. As long as spacing is 6.75 I'd be good to go right? The 788 is the same as the 700 except for the plastic trigger guard?

no the 788 has a magazine not like the 700s

[STOMP442]

Scott the 6mm will be a long action as well. These 788s are really unique in the way Remington named them. Their "short" action is actually only chambered for the 44 magnum. Their "long" action is for the 222,223 22-250 & 30-30 which is what this stock will fit. What they call their "extra long" action is chambered in .243 .308 and 6mm Remington.
