I made an impulse buy on a Model 70 in 7mm WSM. Brushed stainless action, 26" barrel, muzzle brake and the cheapest synthetic stock I own. I'm planning on cerakoting the barrel and action to a burnt bronze and want to drop it in a nicer and hopefully adjustable stock. I know there is a difference in the action being a WSM from either a SA or LA.

Just wondering if anyone on here knows who makes aftermarket stocks for this beast. Hoping to stay within the $300-$400 range so that I have enough left over in the budget for a good optic (came with a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40 i'm not overly impressed with).

Thanks in advance and hope you guys can help me out.
 
Check out bell and Carlson stocks. Prophet river has them for M70 in the SA/WSM. $399 plus tax and shipping so they are at the top end of your budget.

I have one of these stocks for a tikka t3 and have zero complaints...

I have a couple of the sames stocks that I purchased from the above noted vendor, including one in model 70; they fit/ perform well and the shop is a pleasure to deal with also.

My rifle must be an odd ball as all those stocks are listed as a one piece floorplate and mine is the two piece. I'm still at a loss here.
 
You can either buy a proper stock that comes with a 3 screw/2 piece bottom (boyds, McMillan), get a new one piece bottom metal upgrade or use an adaptor plate like this.

Which allows you to use your existing bottom metal on the newer 2 screw/1 piece Winchester inlet stocks.
Prophet River should have the adaptor plate. If not order online.
Edit: you would need the short action adaptor plate, not long action I believe.
 
My preference is for the HS Precision stocks. They are in the $500-$600 range. I prefer the additional rigidity when compared to the B&C stocks. The only downside to the HS is there are several variants for the Model 70s even with in the hunting class of stocks. The last one I put together for a model 70 required a fair bit of inletting even to the aluminum chassis, specifically near the rear action screw..
