So will the MRC 1999 fit the same stocks as a Winchester M70 or do modifications have to be made?
Is it primarily to be a hunting stock and do you want lightweight, synthetic, wood, laminate? Plain or fancy? Are you going to set it up or have someone else do the work? If you're having it done, discuss it with the 'smith. He'll tell you what he likes or doesn't. You're usually better off using what the 'smith likes or finding another 'smith. If you're gonna do it yourself, I'd get a stock inletted specifically for the 1999. What about glass/pillar/steel bedding or incorporated bedding blocks? Do you want any of that and can you do a bedding job or willing to try it?
I have a 6.5x284 MRC 1999 in a Serengeti stock. Nice set up. I can recommend them.
