I will probably do something exotic like a 30-06 if I re barrel. A 35 Whelen is interesting and a possibility too. Especially since I do not seem to be able to sell my Whelen ammo.

As for the floor plate question, I have a local that wants to sell a McMillan stock for the later model Winchester model 70. His is made for the 2 piece floor plate which is why I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the adapter that is sold online.
