[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 568817, member: 34925"] I have a Hogue with the full length aluminum bedding block under my 375H&H M70. I ordered it to replace a broken stocked pre-64 30-06 only to have the guy cancel the job. Of course it didn't fit my 375 and that was the only M70 I own that I would restock; in fact I contemplated changing calibers. So as I removed material to inlet for the larger barrel channel I got to like what I considered an ugly duckling--it's a sturdy "full" stock--that sentiment grew on me. I put an 11 ounce mercury suppressor in the butt and my own sling swivel anchors. The tacky rubberized surface stays "grippy" under all conditions I've experienced; the pistol grip is fully supportive; the pebbly "checkering," while initially repulsive, is most effective; and the recoil pad is good enough as I didn't feel the need to change it out. It's been great for ten years now. But, every persons tastes, physical demands, and perceptions of what should be, are different and usually change over time so all this may be meaningless to you except for one thing: The only way you'd find out what fits you [U][I][B]best[/B][/I][/U]--and that you're happy with--is by personal physical examination and experience. All is not as it seems. I'm converting this rifle to 338 Edge and I plan on keeping this stock--I've gotten to like it that much. There's others: Richards Micro Fit, Bell&Carlson, and customs from wood to aluminum and in virtually any price range. They can be found via web search and on this site.
