Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Photo essay of McMillan stocks for Model 70

Utah: Been awhile and don't know if I answered this on another thread,but I like the compact Edge/FW 270 a lot.Used it in Wyoming this year,and the rifle is tied for 1st place in the "favorites" position.Thanks for posting this stuff;it was a big help.
Also,since this thread I added a M70 in 375 with an Echols Legend....sweet!

I ran across a rare, stainless, left hand model 70 in .338. I didn't like the stock, or the teflon smeared on it, or the deafening device out on the barrel, soooooooo getting a stainless PacNor #3 in .300WM (my fav) along with an Edge stock in olive. I like the Edge pattern, but wish I would have seen this thread first! Thanks for the effort guys,
Don

Bob--
I had seen elsewhere that you were pleased with the compact. You have the best pair of McMillan stocks for the Winchester 70, in my opinion: the EDGE on a light gun and a Legend on a magnum.

docdb--

If you still have that .338 takeoff barrel sitting around I would be more than happy to take it off your hands.

I'll check with the smith.....

Not to resurrect an old thread, but felt it would be better to try to keep things consolidated vs. creating a new post.

Does anyone have a picture of the High Tech Specialties Bansner stock for the Model 70 they could post following this template?

Thanks, this thread has been very helpful!

What is the drop like on a Sako Classic?

note to self

I would like to see this also, if someone has it available.

What a cool thread. Utah, you outdid yourself here. I am buying a mcmillan compact edge for my extreme weather and your template idea is great. When I get it I'll post pics of the rifle with the original B&C stock and the edge for comparison. Old thread but full of very valuable info. Thanks

Here are a few of mine. They arn't custom stocked rifles but if some of you guys like the fit of your original stocks and want to buy one very similar in a mcmillan you can compare these pics to some of the others people have posted.

Pre 64 model 70 std weight 24" barrel:


Pre 64 model 70 fwt 22" barrel:


SC model 70 fwt 308 with 22" barrel:


Winchester model 70 Extreme weather long action (30-06) 22" barrel (with B&C stock):


Winchester model 70 classic sporter with factory tupperware (Long action) 24" barrel:


FN PBR XP 300 wsm with 24" barrel (hogue overmolded stock):


One thing about this template is it tells you what you really prefer. My pre 64's fit me like a glove, so what I'll do is match up these profiles with some of the other examples and I'm in business. Thanks again utah708 for providing this great template.

Let's bump this one--it's too useful to die. If anyone has new pics of different styles, it would be useful too.

Bump it again until it get made into a sticky.

That's a great idea - this thread deserves to be a sticky.

After hunting season, I'll have to make up a template and post the McMillan Winchester Hunter stock that my buddy just received.

We need to add more stocks.

Winlite with sporter contour. Ain't quite "lite" at 8lb.9oz, but I like it...

Slap it on a template so we can see drop at heel/comb, length of grip and forend etc.....

Uh, yeah.

You mean I actually have to dig the damn thing out?????

Being a lefty, this thread is even more helpful as we don't get near the inletting and stock choices. I to am interested in seeing the non-Remington "Hunter" stock. I think it's inletted backwards?
