Winchester Model 70 bottom metal question....

I am getting ready to put my Model 70 Classic Stainless 375 H&H into a "factory take-off" stock from a Model 70 Safari Express.

The Classic Stainless has a 2-piece bottom metal....while the Safari Express stock is inletted for a 1-piece bottom metal. I was told I could buy a spacer for the new stock to accommodate my 2-piece.

Is this it? http://www.cdnninvestments.com/wistcosploac.html

And if so....is that the only modification necessary for properly fitting the barreled action into the stock? Is the "long action" spacer the correct spacer to use....or is there a "magnum-length action" spacer as well?

Any other tips/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

We make custom bottom metal for the post 64's, but mostly for a re-stocking application.

You might be interested in the XRM magazine conversion to increase capacity to 4+1

Yes, I would be VERY interested in that. Where can I get it?

Just click on Duane's website.

The spacer from CDNN is all you need. They provided one when I bought one of their unfinished Safari stocks. A rather flimsy plastic piece that, fortunatley, I did not have to use.
