They're good stocks and definite upgrade to the cheap factory Tupperware, or the overly flexible Hogue stock. Not near as good as a Manners, McMillan, or one of the chassis systems, but a lot less money. You're looking at $500 and up for a McMillan, and that doesn't include another $250 or so to have it bedded, unless you can do it yourself. The chassis systems don't get bedded, but they cost about the same as a McMillan + bedding job, and a lot of them cost a lot more than that.

Easy, turnkey upgrade that also gets you AICS mags.

I've had several students show up with them. They work well and are comfortable to shoot with. Not much uglier than the factory stock on my Steyr SSG69, and the mag system is much better. Well, I love how smooth the Steyr rotary mags are in use, but they ain't near as rugged as the AICS mags, and only hold 5rds instead of 10, for almost the same cost.

All in all, a winner for the price.

Remington put together a nice rifle for the price with this one. I like a 22" barrel on a .308 bolt gun, it's threaded, Cerakoted, 1:10" 5R rifling, nice bolt knob. I'm gonna guess that it should retail for about $1000. Price out a similar package and it's a deal:
Donor Remington 700
Magpul Hunter stock with magazine adapter
Cerakote
Bolt knob
Thread barrel (depending on what Rem700 you started with)
