My model 70 is ready, H-S stock is secure.
Received my new H-S stock couple weeks ago, sure it's heavier than alot of other stocks out there, but it feels very solid in my hands.

Also had my "smith" put in some 8-40 screws in the bases, since I apparantly snapped off the front screw years ago and didn't know it, all this time while shooting with 2 screws.

Can't wait to try out the "new" rig with my test loads of H4350 and RE15 and 168 AMAXs and MKs.

Now, what do I do til spring?

BTW, Stock fit perfectly with no sanding, grinding of any kind. But H-S does send some bedding compound along with Winchester stocks to center the flat receiver of the aforementioned rifles, which include Rugers and Brownings. But fwiw, I fit the action beforehand and it seemed to fit just fine.

If you don't mind a little more heft in your rifles, I'd have to recommend H-S stocks, like I said, they're a very solid feeling stock.

Agreed, I spend more days and time hunting varmints (mostly coyotes) than I do big game it seems. There's lotsa open time for them.
