It was produced for Sears Way Back When and is a cheap version of the Model 70 with blind box magazine.

I have an "extra" Model 70 synthetic and since it was for the "real deal" Model 70 the stock has the bottom open.
Any suggestions on a reasonably priced floor plate that can modified to fit (yes I know the high dollar ones are out there).

If not, I plan on building a complete floorplate and parkerizing the rifle as a pure "Hunter" model. All I have readily accessible is mild cold rolled steel.

Will this metal take the parkerizing treatment pretty well the same as the rest of the gun??

Williams firearms makes the floorplate, and brownells carries that and replacement mag boxes...

pretty durn cheap, too

Why not just get one from Winchester?

Anyone here have a long action trigger guard/floorplatef rom a Model 70 they have rebuilt with all steel floorplate??

Just disassembled my Mod 70 and put parts on the SearsChester. NO need for a new mag box.

One reason I was thinking all steel and one piece (two welded together) floorplate/trigger guard is because of the desire to Parkerize the whole gun!

I had no idea they want that much for a Model 70 Classic Stainless now!
