MDT TIMBR Core Laminate Rifle Stock – Rem 700 SA RH Green Mtn Camo

Description

There's a reason wood stocks never really went away, even with all the polymer and carbon fiber options flooding the market. There's something about the way a laminate stock feels and handles that synthetic just can't replicate. MDT took that classic feel and built a precision chassis inside it, so you get the warmth of wood with the repeatability of a machined bedding block. This particular version comes in the Green Mountain Camo laminate, giving it a rugged, layered look that still reads as a traditional sporter profile from across the truck bed.

What Makes This TIMBR Core Different From a Standard Wood Stock

Most laminate stocks still need a proper bedding job to get the action locked in tight, and even then wood can shift a little with temperature and humidity swings. The TIMBR Core skips all of that by building an aluminum micro-chassis with V-block bedding right into the laminate shell. That means your Remington 700 short action drops in, torques down to spec, and holds its zero through hot summer days and cold mornings in the stand without any gunsmithing or custom fitting. The laminate construction itself is more rigid than solid wood to begin with, so you're getting two layers of stability working together instead of fighting each other.

Fit and Ergonomics on the TIMBR Core Laminate

MDT carried over a lot of the ergonomic thinking from their competition chassis lines into this stock, including a 68 degree grip angle that feels more natural than most older sporter designs. Length of pull adjusts from about 13.6 to 14.6 inches using quarter inch spacers, so you're not stuck with whatever fit the factory decided on. The forend channel is cut oversized to handle barrels up to a Proof Research Sendero contour while staying fully free floated, which is a nice bit of headroom if you ever want to run a heavier barrel down the road. Integrated QD sling studs on the forend and butt let you run a bipod and a carry strap without drilling anything.

Magazine Compatibility and What You'll Need to Complete It

This stock is built around AICS-pattern magazine feeding, but it does require a compatible bottom metal to actually run detachable mags, whether that's MDT's own CORE, Hunting, or Precision bottom metal, or any Badger M5 profile bottom metal you already have on hand. The bottom metal is sold separately, so budget for that if your action doesn't already have one. Once it's paired up, you'll have a stock that looks like something out of a classic deer camp but runs like a modern precision rig underneath.
