I have two synthetic stocks I am looking to get rid of. Part of a box labeled gun parts from my late grandfather. Don’t know what project they were intended for. Please help identify so I can list on classified sections or offer trades/ purchase here.

I am leaning towards REM 700 action. One has Bell and Carlson on butt pad other simply reads “Supreme”.

Any help would be appreciate.

Those look really nice. Bell & Carlson makes excellent stocks.

They are not Remington 700s.
The front action screw goes through the recoil lug like a Winchester Model 70, but the left sides both have a 90-degree cutout for a Mauser-style bolt release.

Can you measure the distance between the action screw openings? That might help narrow it down.

Someone more knowledgeable than I am will have to chime in to say what action meets all those criteria.
 
Thanks for the information. I measured and Center of hole to center of hole was 7 3/4”. It was wider than my digital caliper so I just had to eye it with tape measure.
 
I believe the common hole spacing for an intermediate Mauser action is 7.620 inches and a standard action is 7.835 inches. I'd say they are definitely for some type of Mauser action. I'll place a link below to a site that shows the differences between a lot of the different Mausers.

A model 70 does not have an action screw that goes into the recoil lug, it goes into the flat part of the receiver behind the recoil lug.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
