[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1300650, member: 22069"] Boyd's lists stocks cut for 1-piece bottom metal, 2-piece bottom metal, or a blind magazine. They list a pre-WWII Model 70 inlet and a general Model 70 inlet. Not sure which options are correct for a pre-64. Maybe worth a phone call for clarification. Richard's specifically lists a pre-64 inlet. Not sure if that includes the cut for the front boss screw. If that cut is not present, I wouldn't think it would be difficult to inlet and drill for it (assuming you want to use it). As an aside, my CZ 550 Safari Magnum has a front boss screw, which I would think is pretty important for recoil management with the big African chamberings. However, I note with interest that the more LRH oriented Badlands model in 338 Lapua does not seem to incorporate the front boss screw. That leads me to believe that good, solid bedding and free-floating the barrel may work just as well. With the modest recoiling 30-06, I wouldn't be afraid to steel bed the action and let 'er rip. With either a Boyd's or Richards, even if the inlet is decent, they still aren't exactly drop-in stocks. Expect them to need a generous helping of elbow grease. [/QUOTE]
