Title: After market model 70 stock?
Post by: coyotecrazy on March 23, 2014, 07:57:53 PM: My buddy has a pre 64 model 70 in 270. He wants to put a youth stock on it so his son can shoot it. Haven't had any luck finding a youth stock, suggestions or do they even make it? Thanks for the info

+1 no reason to spend a bunch of money when they will out grow it in a year or two.
