I gather you're in Canada? (maybe B.C.?) .......
Your post was pretty brief and somewhat cryptic, but I'll take a stab at it.

I found and went to the web site for Prophet River Firearms and found what you're apparently referring to.

Those stocks strongly resemble some of the 700 ADL laminated stocks from the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, it appears that hinged floor plates were added to give it a BDL appearance and functionality.

ADL LS (1988 – 1993)

The number of "non-cataloged" Remington firearms are virtually too numerous to count. It seems that alot of the stuff in Wal-Mart stores is in that category. Another place which has sold "non-cataloged" or "limited edition" (aka. "Special Run") items for years is Grice Gun Shop.
My guess is it was to possibly get rid of some of the inventory of those ADL laminated stocks. They just used stainless steel barreled actions and added floor plates to build them.
They ended up making a nice looking gun.

EDIT:
Here's the link to Remington's (current) list of "Special Run" firearms.
