| If you have the Winchester injection molded stock like the ones I have seen I don't think your going to like it.
The one that came with my SS Classic 7mm WSM has a recoil "pad" that must be made from black painted 4140 to Rc 48. But you have the basic gun that you want so it's not that bad a deal at all.
If you have a better stock than what I got good for you. Mine looks nice but that's all. I put a B&C on mine. That's a good choice for soaking up recoil and economy. |

| Sounds like a deal to me, I paid about $20 more for mine. I aquired a supergrade factory stock for mine and like the look (although the purists would poo poo a stainless gun in walnut) I have to agree that the factory plastic is pure utility and needs a recoil pad replacement, but as such I still use the plastic one when afield. |

| Are the bolts also stainless on the m70 ss .375 classic, I mean are they as stainless as the ruger MK11's ?? |

| I'll tell you a little secret, I called the winchester custom shop, and the "stainless" acutraments (crossbolts, sling swivel studs, grip cap, etc.) are nickel plated to resemble stainless. So you take the parts and have them brush or bead blasted finish nickel and there you go. (ala ultimate stainless MSRP $2000+) |

| idahoelk do you know if the bolt is actually stainless sometimes it is just the reciver and companies use the same bolts and then claim it is a stinaless rifle. |

| I may be wrong but I belive that all of the classic control round feeds are stainless bolt bodies, but I could be mistaken.(Never tried to rust one ) |
