As an aside, I bought a nice Model 70 a few months ago with PT&G Oberndorf bottom metal. It has a custom feature that allows me to see the tops of my boots through the loading port about 60% of the time I pull the trigger. Neat feature.


That was funny….

I honestly haven’t had much of an issue with plain old Winchester BM. I just swapped my Mashburn to Featherweight BM and couldn’t be happier.

Mine doesn’t let me see my boots like yours, but it works okay…. I’m cheap I guess grin

All of my model 70's bottom metal works flawlessly. Speaking of going with fwt bm, thats exactly what I did with my pre 64 338wm. I was trying to keep weight down, and ended up at 7 pounds even. That includes scope mounts and rings.
