Nice, what Cal is that M70?

30-06. I have always felt one of the Classic Fwt's in SS would make about the perfect all around hunting rifle. I like the new FN rifles well enough, but just trust and prefer the older style trigger more.

I found this rifle still NIB at a gunshow in May. I believe it was probably made around 1999-2000 and it still had the hang tags on it. Got it for $700 OTD.

When I got home I looked on McMillan's Specials page and found this stock. I wouldn't have ordered this, but I could get it "right now" and it was $475 shipped. Now that I have it and see how it looks on the gun It has grown on me. Since taking the photo's I've upgraded the scope to a Leupold 2.5-8X36. It weighs 7.5 lbs as it sits.

On the first range trip I fired 2 shots to get it on paper at 50 yards. This is shots #3,4,and 5 fired at 100 yards.

Stock came in today, looks great. Black with tan speckles.

Here is a pic of the gray base, black and tan spec finish on my new McEdge, Browning A-Bolt Classic stock.

For color caparisons sake, here is a pic (again) of my M70 McEdge in olive base, black and tan specs.

Very helpful. Thanks for the examples guys.

McMillan Grey with Black Speckles:

Nice, like to know more about the action/rifle and also = is that the latest FX3 6x42? Ocular seemed a bit different.

Starting new thread to not interfere with the granite theme!

Thanks Joel

The 2nd picture I asked for the same finish as McMillan's EOL rifles. Olive, with black and tan speckletone.

The other rifle is the McMillan SCI Phoenix raffle rifle. I asked the colors of the SCI rifle stock and was told they were the olive, with tan and black speckltone.

The SCI stock appears a lighter olive than mine. Sure is a nice looking rifle!

Derrickman..what hard case is that..I like the layout..and the colors of stocks DO look different!

Oldguns, the hardcase and rifle is McMillan's picture. Just using their picture for a comparison. Sorry, I don't know which hardcase that is.

I'm going to order another Speckletone stock soon. I think if I go with a 2 color speckletone, leave out the black speckle, should look more like the McMillan stock.

A couple of my olive with black and tan speckles.

Very nice, Doug. I bet it looks even better up close.

I got tired of looking at the bad photos of my Grey with Black Specs, so I asked my wife to take a good photo:

Brown base with black speckle.

Thanks for the pics guys.

I ordered the Winchester Hunter Edge in brown with black specks and red pad for my 300 H&H, and a Rem MR Edge in gray with black specks for my Mtn Guide 7-08. Looking forward to 4 months from now!

Just received my Rem Hunter Stock in Olive green with black/tan specs. When I move slightly away from stock...I see NO specs...stock looks flat green(which is ok). I do have tired /old eyes. You may see different. For contrast you might want to go with grey with black specs or light tan with black specs. Sorry fo NO pics..NOT computer/pic savy. Hope this helps with your choice.
