Stock for a Winchester Mdl 70 SS Classic
I bought a used Winchester Mdl 70 Classic, stainless steel, in 375 H&H. The iron sights were crooked so I sent it back to Winchester. They are sending me a new rifle. I want to relpace the synthetic stock with a nice wood stock with cheek piece, checkering and perhaps an ebony forend. I'll then replace the irons with NECG barrel band front, express rear and a barrel band sling attachment. I want a stainless steel safari rifle. Who can build an appropriate stock without getting into too much money?

Nobody,
I'm not trying to be a smartass, but any stock worth having as you describe it will take time, skill and a good blank. None of those are cheap.

SBT,
Try http://www.accurateinnovations.com. They have what seems like a good product at reasonable price.

Serengeti Stocks works also offers a drop in after market stock under Zephyr line.

Ask then to replace the plastic fantastic with wood from the safari, and we can start from there.

email me and we'll talk about what it would take to get the stock you would like.
