I have an extra Left handed Model 70 stock off of a Classic Safari Express. Will it fit any other long action, left handed Winchester or is the bottom metal inlet particular to the 375 H&H cartridge?

All post 64 longs are the same, it'll fit any other LH long action fine


If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

It will fit but the ejection port cutout on the stock will be longer than on the action so it will look a little odd.

The actions for the Safari Express have a longer ejection port than other 70 actions.

I knew there was something different but thought it was the bottom metal. Thanks for the information.
