[QUOTE="statjunk, post: 298161, member: 18873"] Thanks for the long post. I appreciate everyone for taking the time to help me. What would be a good option for a sythetic black stock that doesn't flex at the foreend and is still pretty light? Money is also an issue of course. The Winchester M70 Extreme Weather comes with a Bell and Carlson but it flexes at the tip. I figured it'd be nicer that. As for the other advice you gave not sure what to think. I'm really between so many options right now. Not really sure what to do. Trying to stay on a budget. Even if it means it might take me a while. Here is a scenario. Please tell me if this seems reasonable. If I buy a Winchester M70 Extreme Weather in .30-06. Shoot it for a while and over time replace the stock and the barrel to a .308Win. Wouldn't this allow me to load a standard reamed barrel to the lands and still fit in the magazine? What would be the cons to this approach other than weight (4oz)? Tom [/QUOTE]
