I'm looking to stock a newly barrel Remington 700 short action. Put a Lilja number one barrel on the action and I am trying to build something for my youngest son. I have a nice unused Manners that is inletted for a defiance action. There is a lot of slop and play, obviously, With this Remington action dropped into it, but my question is, is there a way I can make this stock work? Can I simply bed this action into this stock, and using pillars torque everything down good? How about changing out bottom metal to something like a Hawkins detachable box? I've never really done anything like this, but I really like this manners stock. Wondering if I should just pass on this stock and look for something That is a direct match.
Thanks
