Mod 70 Stock?

[Randy Tidwell]

I picked up a Model 70, 243 for my 12yo grandson. Looking to replace the stock with something lighter weight. I am big McMillian fan, but a 6 month lead time doesn't work for me.

Who's making a descent composite stock these days.

He is a big kid, so not looking for a youth stock, adult size will work fine.

I have an H&S Precision M24. More for a varmint rifle.

A H-S Precision or Bell & Carlson is likely to weigh what the wood stock does.

What generation stock does he need?

D’Arcy Echols is who I’d call and order one of his designs.

I replace my injected moulded stocks with HS-Precision Sporter stocks for the Win Model 70’s I build. They work very well with a lug bedding job and skimming front and rear. They have an integral bedding block as well.

Cheers.

What generation stock does he need?

By the SN. Rifle was made in 1970.

Rifle is in great shape, shoots pretty good so far with ammo I had from another 243.

Eventual goal is to rebarrel to 25 Souper.

I will look into it. Have not bought any shorter stocks for many years, jaw dropped when I seen current prices, wow.

I found that Midwest gun works carried some stocks for the model 70 and the FN bolt action from McMillan. They do have others as well. They have the A5 short action with the bottom metal for a DBM plus mags for $699. I have the A3 on mine currently. They also have Winchester stocks for cheaper than you will see at Winchester for the most part. Good luck

The shape/style/feel of D'Arcy's stocks are simply the best for a hunting rifle. Classic design but details are spot on.
