[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1300561, member: 10291"] I have a Supergrade in 30-06 made in the late 50's that's quite accurate as well. The pre-64's are great rifles! Other then McMillan, or comparably priced custom stockers, finding a, inexpensive replacement stock, particularly one that accommodates the front swivel barrel lug is near impossible. Another option is to try EBay. A few years back I picked up a well used, but serviceable pre-64 walnut stock for a couple of hundred bucks. Deciding on whether to fully bed or float the barrel would depend on how well the originally stocked rifle shot, and held zero. I have seen many sporter weight barrels require forearm support/pressure in order to give the best accuracy. [/QUOTE]
