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

I like my M70 Hunter. It is basically the Sako Hunter for the M70. It has a raised Cheek Piece.

So why replace it?

Because its not as stiff as I like and the for end and grip are too thick for my taste.

kman, you'd probably really like the Bansner (high tech specialties) stock then. I think I posted a pic of the one I had on a 30-06 classic sporter (maybe a few pages back)...

Thanks Brian. That's a great stock design. It's lightweight, stiff and it has great ergos. Like Brad said in an earlier post, it's very similar to the montana stock..

up.

Excellent thread, still don't know why it isn't a sticky..

Here are some more to add to the list:

Pre 64 model 70 (1957) 270 fwt with factory 22" tube, Leupold medium ht. DD's, McMillan hunters compact (standard fill) with factory brown paint and 1" red decelerator, 13.5" LOP. Quickly becoming one of my favorite rifles. Handles great and shoots even better:


Pre 64 model 70 30-06 fwt (1956) with factory 22" tube, Leupold low DD's, pre 64 montecarlo pattern, oldstyle coyote bomber swirly, 13.5" LOP, 1" decelerator:


Classis sporter 30-06 cerakoted sniper grey, medium Talley lightweights, factory Tupperware painted with stone finish paint (brown), 1" decelerator, 13.5" LOP:


2008 Limited edition Model 70: 300 wsm with 24" Extreme Weather tube, erine the gunsmith trigger spring (breaks clean at 2 3/8 pounds), 60/40 blue/white swirly hunters compact (standard fill), 13.5" LOP, 1" decelerator:

Awesome thread!

You did great on that snag earlier!!!! Let us know how that classic sporter works out for you. I've swapped stocks on mine so many times and ended up going to the factory Tupperware because it just works for me. Good luck with your new rifle..

BSA,

For some reason, your last photo isn't showing.

Thanks gasman. I'll have to check my photobucket. I may have accidentally deleted that pic. Here's the info and pic again:

2008 Limited edition Model 70: 300 wsm with 24" Extreme Weather tube, Talley lightweight lows, erine the gunsmith trigger spring (breaks clean at 2 3/8 pounds), 60/40 blue/white swirly hunters compact (standard fill), 13.5" LOP, 1" decelerator. This rifle is 8 pounds on the nose and balance is superb. It's great for shooting offhand:

New one goes on the template:


Pre 64 model 70 H&H magnum receiver, 338 win mag, Brown Precision stock:



Just trying to keep this thread alive. Should be a sticky!!!!!!!

Pretty easy to see why that Brown Precision is so very nice in the recoil department, with the truly high yet straight comb and no dropoff at heel. They are a very nice pattern.

Plus one!!!

This is a great thread. I am stuck at a crossroad with my win 70 338 24". Hunters edge, compact edge, Brown Precision...?

With a 24" barrel and in 338, I think that the Compact edge is going to look small and recoil more than you'd like.

Get a Brown Precision and be happy with it.

I agree about the compact being out but trying to decide between the Brown Precision and a couple other McMillan patterns
