I bought a Varmint special for a steal of a price....haven't got it yet.
Anyone ever seen or built a gun with one....? They are advertised to be light and very durable.......

What make? Remington made a 700 Varmint Special starting back in the 60s that had a wood stock (the M40 stock used the same design) and then upgraded it to a synthetic which morphed into the SPS.

few years back I did a lightweight 300rum on one of their 700 sporter stocks and so far no issues. I think mine came out around 24oz after a pad, bedding and paint. I was looking at them awhile back for a lightweight 700ML project until Smoke found a couple of new Ti stocks.
You'll be happy with it................... if not drop me a line, might have another winter project it would work on.

Rossman High tech specialties makes it.....It is own by Mr. Banson which his company was located in california......now its in Penn. I believe........he sells stocks for 290.00 but if you send him an action he will install,paint for 865.00 out the door. I think HillBill won't be so hard on me and charge that much,lol.........

I ended up with one a few months back. I think it was one of his installs maybe as the bedding job was the best I've ever seen. Paint was real nice too. Unfortunately, it was too light of contour to be of use for one of our builds. I probably should have kept it for a CF build, but sent it back to the guy because he claimed it was an HS Precision when he sold it to me. Very lightweight!

Mr. Banson confirmed to me the Varmint version could be opened up to accommodate a #7 contour .......that kind of sealed the deal on my decision to buy it...
I'll get it to Bill and see what he can do with it.......might end up being on my smoker ss700 "Florida Legal" build in the works...... or an air gun,lol.........
