I totally forgot about Richards Microfit, and I did up one of their classic 102 laminates for my wife's 721 once. I'll probably go the Mcmillan route since I know and like them. There's a severe lack of HS Precision stocks around here to handle. Thanks for the heads up on the tang. I'll have to take a look at a model 7 and note te differences.

I think the bolt handle will have to go. I don't mind the dog leg as much as I mind the fact that it barely clears a small leupold scope and doesn't at all if you have butler creek scope covers on.
