I have a Rem 700 Tactical 20" heavy barrel .308 with the Hogue stock that came from the factory. I have been looking on Stocks Stocks web page and see they have several Rem 700 stocks on sale that I can afford. The problem is I'm not sure which one would be best. I am between the 700 P style or the M40 with the raised monte carlo cheek piece. I have a Bushnell 10x tactical scope mounted on my rifle. Also for the same price they have the vertical grip Medalist 2. Any input would be really appreciated as to the pros/cons of each.
The Tactical Medalist Mk2 is a very good stock. The vertical grip makes a world of difference in my shooting. I was worried about cheek weld when I bought mine, but it was perfect, as was the LOP...YMMV.

I put a B&C Tactical Medalist Style 3 (with Hook) and it need some comb assistance (a higher cheek weld) so I installed one of the Karsten adjustable cheekrests and haven't looked back.
I also have the 700 sps tactical with a Bushnell 10x, I went with the B&C a2, my rifle now shoots .750 moa at 100 yards regularly with some groups under .500 if I do my job. I don't think you can go wrong with B&C!!!!
I have the Medalist type 2 on my 700 (.308) and it has been a shooter from the start. Dropped right in no probs.
Also a note on Stocky's. I have heard a couple of folks say they have had a bad experience with them, but mine was quite the opposite. I inadvertantly ordered a long action instead of the short. I called and explained my mistake. I had a return label the next day and a new stock (the right one) by the end of the week.
Same experience as Doug above (less the need for return.) Quick delivery, good product. I'm more a pistol guy than a rifle guy, but the Medalist 2 seems to suit me alright.
I'm a major fan of "vertical grips". I have a couple of the Medalists "type 5" (the tactical/varmint with everything adjustable). Very comfortable to shoot for long periods of time.
I appreciate all the feed back on the stocks. Has anyone thought the wide forearm was too wide? I believe I will go with the A2 with the vertical pistol grip in the Green with Black webbing.
It might be if you plan on a lot of off-hand shooting but from bag rests or on a bipod wide forearms aren't usually an issue. Personally I kind of like a wider forearm when "sling" or "off-hand" shooting. Fits my hand better than the skinny ones. I prefer to grip the stock and not have my hand wrap around to touch the barrel.
I really disliked the A2 forend. If its a dedicated bench rifle, then you shouldn't have a problem, but its unwieldy off had. I traded mine off and bought an HS with the vertical grip. The M40 looks to be the better option if you plan on real world use.
