Also, are the weaver flip over rings good enough to actually keep and hunt with? Since this is a old school rifle, I would like to keep everything old school if possible.
On the stock I don't know but if the hole spaceing is the same,it could be made 2,may not be as pretty though.
As for the Tip Over Weavers,used them for a good while.Couple of things one has to watch on them.
1- Is the Tip Over Screw,needs to be tight enough that it takes a little effort to swing the scope over.To loose and you can get accuarcy trouble.
2-Got to be caerful on repostioning the scope as well for the same reason,gently snap it over the base.
BTW they still make them for a few rifles.

I put a long action 700 stock on my 721,it takes alittle work but very simple stuff. I say go for it it took alot of the recoil out of my 721 in '06.I'd do it again.

Well I tried it on a camo'd 700 ADL synthetic stock and everything would have worked except I need to cut a notch for the safety.

I think if I remember right,I had to work on it some around the saftey and where the rear barrel had the sight hump and then glass bedded it,I used a walnut BDL stock,my son still hunts with that rifle.
