Description
The Magpul Hunter 700L is a drop-in replacement stock built around the Remington 700 long-action footprint, aimed at hunters and precision shooters who want a more rigid, adjustable chassis alternative to the factory stock without committing to a full aluminum chassis system. It accepts the barreled action without bedding compound or gunsmithing in most cases, which matters when you want a repeatable fit across multiple range sessions or hunting seasons.
The stock is designed to improve shooter consistency by allowing length-of-pull adjustment, so the same rifle can fit different shooters or accommodate varying layers of clothing in cold-weather field conditions. Cheekweld height can also be tuned, which directly affects how consistently your eye aligns with a scope — small vertical mismatches here translate to point-of-impact shift under field conditions, not just at the bench.
The Hunter 700L is configured for long-action cartridges, meaning it provides the correct inletting geometry for the longer receiver and magazine box dimensions that cartridges like .30-06 and similar require. Using it with a short-action receiver would produce a poor fit, so this variant is purpose-built for that specific action length. The OD Green finish is Magpul’s own designation — a muted, flat tone that works across most field environments without the glare problems of a glossy surface.
Magpul designed the stock with provisions for swivel studs and an AR-style pistol grip, giving it a more vertical grip angle than a traditional hunting stock. That geometry keeps your wrist more neutral under recoil and makes trigger pull more consistent across different shooting positions, which is the practical argument for the ergonomic departure from conventional sporting stock design.
