Winchester Model 70 (LA) Stock Options

[OnCall605]

I just picked up a Winchester Ranger 7mm Rem Mag from a neighbor of mine that has barely been shot. I was going to replace the stock and trigger on it and was looking for suggestions on stocks to look at. My budget is $300-400 or less. I'm almost thinking a stock from Boyd's might be something I will consider. And rarely do I see many stocks on the classifieds for sale for the Model 70's. What else should I take a look at?

Boyd prairie hunter is very nice. Usually need to sand just a touch to make them fit well but really great feeling stock.

Being laminated they are pretty heavy

I have a McMillan on mine. They made some that came from the factory that way.

I have lightened one of their stocks by hollowing out the butt and the forearm, and the difference was significant. How much I lightened it I no longer recall, but I've posted about that rifle in the past, a Howa 1500 Mini in 7.62x39 built to be as light as I could easily make it. I could take more out of the butt in particular, but the balance now is good and I'm hesitant to change that.

I don't think he'll beat that deal anywhere
