A buddy of mine ordered one a few years ago(like 20 years ago😁) for his Model 70 before they discontinued that pattern. I remember handling it and thinking it was really slick! I own 2 Echols Legend stocks myself and they are great stocks! I believe the G&H is very similar….maybe a little more narrow in the forend and grip than the Echols. I think you’ll be pleased. Leftybolt I don't have either, but the more open grip in the Legend is much more to my taste than the more closed grip on the G&H. I'd had a Dakota & that was about perfect in that respect, along with the Remington Custom Shop KS stocks. MM

The length of pull is a little longer than I like but the stock otherwise fits really well and the grip doesn't seem too closed to me at all. The finish is blue and is much like the finish that I've had Roy Bedeaux put on several rifles. He goes over them with a fine bead blast and then puts them in a lathe and goes over the bead blast with a wire brush and then does a caustic hot blue job on the rifle. It makes an attractive, matte finish that looks a little like rust blue but not quite. It appears this rifle has a similar finish. Last edited by DesertMuleDeer; 02/09/23.
