I may be getting a 1957 243 model 70. It needs a stock. Are there any sub $400 options in synthetics? Has anybody used a Boyds?

Keep an eye out for a used Mcmillan. I've bought several great stocks here for my pre 64's. Is the 243 a fwt?
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I think in time you could find a used Mcmillan, rimrock or bansner, perhaps put a call out here looking for one. Also keep an eye out for one on Mcm's website or if you want wood there is always ebay, standard stocks ("shooter grade") can usually be had pretty cheaply there.

If you are at all handy and want to do some work yourself take a look at a high tech. I've used several and have no complaints. They come unfinished but I will bed them and do the sanding and body work to get them prepped. I have both painted and hydro dipped them. I believe they weigh in about the same as an McM edge as I recall.

Keep your eye out for a Borden, Pacific Rimrock as well, the .243 in std rifle is harder to come by than the fwt. very best WinPoor

Do the McMillan and the others have the hole in the forearm for the screw?
