Does anybody know who all makes quality fiberglass stocks for model 70 winchester short action? I have a short action that i am going to use for a custom gun. Looking for a good all around stock. I have looked at the McMillans, they seem to have the most options. I like the feel of the featherweight stock, but i see McMillans is not textured. hmmm. Would the super grade be too large a cumbersome to carry up a mountain?
My goal is a short action, 284 winchester, 8 poundish gun. Good all around gun that will cover 90% of all the hunting i will do.

The Supergade pettern is a bit on the large side for a light rifle. You could do the Feather weight with a textured paint, or you could opt the Compact pattern.

Either way, you will be hard pressed to hit 8lbs all up with a McMillan unless you opt EDGE construction.

I recently added a McMillan stock to my .257 Rbts, custom barreled to follow the Featherweight profile on a short Winchester action. The stock is in McMillan's "Sako Classic" pattern, and in the Edge configuration. With a Leupold 6x36 scope, the rifle weighs 7 3/4 lbs. The Sako Classic pattern has a smaller wrist and forearm than other McMillan Winchester patterns, and I like it a lot. The stock is checkered and has McMillan's textured paint finish (and a cheekpiece). Hope this helps

These are great stocks and very light weight...now made for the W70SA
