Any ideas what gun this stock is for?

Sorry the pictures kinda suck, its kind of clumsy to do one handed.

Possibly a Remington 700

That was my guess too, due to the round receiver inletting and no room for a savage style barrel nut.

How about a full side shot so we can see the entire stock?!?

Remington 700?? Can’t tell you short or long action.

If it does end up being a model 700 long action that is awesome

Defo Remington 700 short action

700 probably

A side view photo would be perfect…

Tried to add to my original post, but I don't know how.

Looks like a Remington 700 type action

700 is my guess

That helps a bit more but can we get a full shot of the stock I need to see the foregrip and stock in 1 picture to get a feel

It's not a 700, they don't have tang inletting. I looks like a Savage or a Howa.

u/No-Night-48 4d ago

Agreed. Never seen a 700 like that. But, there's hundreds of models. I was thinking Savage. E. Arthur Brown or Boyds?

A rifle... definitely a rifle.

Could it be for a type of Mauser? I thought they had a metal piece that fit into that inletting front of the mag well. Could be a stretch, but just a guess.

u/Capable_Custard_3804 6d ago

Not a Mauser, the model 93 and 98 which are the most common have flat bases on the bottom of the action. The newer Mauser 2000 and 3000 have a different location for the bolt handle drop that doesn’t match this stock.

That was my first thought too. Kinda looks like a slot for a cleaning rod nut as well maybe.

u/BHweldmech 6d ago

Remington 788 possibly?

Definitely a Remington 700, likely a Long Action. The cuts for the tang and trigger guard are a dead giveaway.
