Lucked out yesterday on a Fwt. 30-06 at an estate sale. A '61 version unmolested and appears never had a scope mounted on it. Yes, photos when are coming. So I'm just checking if someone has a good quality (McMillan style) stock out there unused and possibly for sale.
Thanks

Sounds like an awesome find. Good luck with your rifle. I know the one I have has kicked out many damn good 30-06 rifles from the safe. Just no need for any others after I bought that one. One of these days, I'll put it in the right micky myself, but for now it resides in it's original wood stock...

I always liked this one. I am a bit less fond of the McMillan Compact on my other one but not by much. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z395/BobinNH1/20151105_161522.jpg)
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

As much as I like the pounder on my 338, I do like the hunters compact better on a fwt rifle. Different strokes...

What is the stock you like better than the McMillan? I always liked this one. I am a bit less fond of the McMillan Compact on my other one but not by much.

boliep: It's a Brown Precision PoundR. I have one like Handwork, too.  Here's the other one. I am very comfy with both. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z395/BobinNH1/20160116_171210.jpg)

No, but I found a hunting grade pre '64 Fwt. stock with a late style ventilated pad on it. Its good to have options, only its better to realize what they are!!
