    UPDATE
    I had a conversation with a bbs member today who asked me about fitting a R2 stock designed for the Anschutz trigger on an action with any of the other trigger types. I told him that there is no problem doing this except that the inletting might be a little 'snug' and require a bit of sandpapering. However the other way around isn't quite so easy.
    Most Rapid users would spot the side mounted safety catch of the Anschutz trigger which requires a slot to be cut on the side of the stock. What you also will need to do is remove some wood from the inletting as the mechanism of the Anschutz trigger protrudes further down out of the block than any of the later trigger types. Not a problem but just something to bear in mind in the event of needing to fit an Anschutz triggered R2 action in a later stock.

    EDIT: I have just fitted a R2 action with the Anschutz trigger in a CS800 stock made for a standard Mk 2 action. I cut the side slot for the safety and then stuck some rubber strips left to right on the base of the action at each end. This seemed to do the trick. If you need to do this my advice is to check that the trigger moves sweetly as you tighten the stock fixing bolt. If the rubber spacers are too thin the trigger blade will progressively foul as the action is tightened and therefore 'sinks lower' in the inletting of the stock. Not a serious problem but something to bear in mind in the event of having to do this work.
