[QUOTE="Gary Rihn, post: 20747, member: 28"] OK, I've decided that the M700 6.5-06 A.I. will be built soon. I plan to use it for long range competitions (600-1000 yds). Shooting will be prone, no BR stuff. Who has a recommendation on a stock? Believe it or not, I'm actually thinking wood for this one for some reason. A couple years ago, I shot a buddy's custom pre-64 M70 in a sniper match & won it. It was a wood stocked rifle. Everyone laughed at me when I showed up (I was the only non-synthetic shooter there). The laughing quit three days later when I walked off with the 1st place trophy. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] That rifle just "felt" good to me & has been in the back of my mind since. Not being a Winchester guy, I'm not positive, but I believe it was a Marksman pattern stock. My buddy who owns it is a 'smith & told me to just have a blank copied off of his stock, but inletted for the M700 action. Anybody think I'm nuts? Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
