Recommend me a new stock for my Win M70

[freddyfour]

Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions for a replacement stick for my M70 EW. I would like something better fitting and a touch lighter then the B&C stock that came with it. Would be great if I could keep the price to the $5-600 range. Would love a McMillan Edge but $1K seems a bit to steep.

Talk to Stuart at Wildcat Composites. He will fix you up.

I just ordered one for my EW, It should be here in the next couple days. He told me it would be a month (which isn't bad) he called a couple days later and said it was on it's way. I love when the things you order show up weeks early!

Is that the Featherweight shaped stock? Let me know how she is she you get it please.

 

[Silver Lab]

Just checked the mail and it's here. Yes it's shaped like the featherweight. Looks exactly as I thought it would, but I've bought a few Wildcat composites in the past.
I will add, I do believe this stock is for the older two piece bottom metal and needs to be opened up a little for the newer one piece stuff. Not really a problem though, it will need to be bedded and finished. I had him install the swivel studs.

You think you could post me a pic with your EW in the stock. I'm not sure I'm ad on the Featherweight design.

I have to do a little relief work for the Timney trigger to fit and iam in the middle of a move. But pm me a email or phone number and I can send you a picture I shamelesly stole off the net.

I would dearly love to see this upgraded Winnie stock.



Cheers, Barney.

In the "custom hunting rifle pic thread" the OP posted a pic of a pre 64 in a Winchester Wildcat.

I put a McMillan Edge on a m70 EW, dropped 12oz in a hurry. Wildcat makes a good stock, you'll be happy

I didn't catch that the first few times I looked through that thread. It looks great!

My first thought was an Edge but they have to be aroind $1K by the time it gets here. Which stick is lighter?

 

[todbartell]

Wildcat probably just as light or a bit lighter than Edge

 

[freddyfour]

Do you bring them in yourself?

 

[todbartell]

I am a McMillan importer. Only experience with Wildcat is a blank I finished in 2002

If wanting to attach typical bipod on front swivel stud the schnabel front likely wont be for you. Otherwise they suit the Mod70 nicely IMO

The Echols McMillan is my favourite by a landslide.

That looks pretty nice, but isn't the cheek rest on the wrong side for your left hand rifle?

Brown Precision Stock.

Uh, no. It is on the right side. Yours are on the left.

That's a beauty stock, is there a big difference from his stock made by McMillan and their regular hunter stock?
