Did they change the stock style on the EW's somwehat recently?
I had somewhat of an itch to get one in 243 for coyote
however I saw a used on in 25-06 a few months ago that seemed to me to have a mighty skinny stock on it. turned me off.
maybe it was an aftermarket stock I am not sure.
I have not been able to find a vendor around here with new model 70's of any flavor to examine to see if I think it might work
I do know I am beyond tired of the extremely poor workmanship and quality control in the last 4 Rem 700's I bought and am not fooling with them anymore.
