wood rifle stocks

Hi, I am a new member, so I hope my question is not a dumb one.
I just bought a Remington 770 7mm Mag and because it is a known
long time American name, I thought it would be easy as "pie" to replace
the black stock with a nice wood one. I e-mailed Remington about this and
was told no one makes a wood stock for this rifle.
Will a 700 mod. , 710, or ??? fit this 770 model.
I haven't shot it yet, but the bolt is about 1/3 the size of my 8mm Mauser!
I hope it is safe to even fire this thing, as the 7mm Mag is powerful enough
to be a belted case. Any help on the stock would be a big thanks.

no, nothing from a 700 will fit. my own opinion is that the 710/770 series is a poor excuse for a rifle that no one will mass produce a stock for it. would have been a better buy to get a more expensive 700 with the wood stock you want.
