Title: M70 Aftermarket Stock Options
Post by: huntfish365 on November 27, 2019, 10:04:59 PM: I have a mint condition Winchester model 70 featherweight in 270wsm. The wood stock is beautiful and I wanna keep it that way. So I wanna see what options I have for a rugged lightweight hunting stock/chassis. Want to be able to shoot this gun out to 6-700yds for deer hunting. What do you guys recommend? Don’t really wanna spend more than 500

How much bedding is usually required, with these higher quality, aftermarket stocks such as McMillan?

Do you mean how much actual bedding material is needed to bed a stock, or are you asking about how much "fitting" is required before you bed the action?

Unless the barrel channel doesn't fit and needs to be opened up, McM stocks generally don't require much fitting and as for the actual amount of bedding epoxy needed, a couple ounces.
