The Obendorfs are all pretty trashy. “Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away”. Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Posted by Brad.

Badger and Williams do not come in Stainless. Thanks for all of the advice and input.

I'm very happy with the machining and the quality but I don't have anything to compare it to other than factory rem. Andy Hawkins has a nice little business going, he's also making some stainless torx bit head action screws which complement a fine bottom metal selection.

Not enough to bother me, I like the Badger aluminum bottom metal, never had it pop open on me which is a plus "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

OP AROKHUNTER Campfire Regular A Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 502 Arkansas	Thanks for the pics! The fit on the BO bottom metal is not something that I could live with. It would bother me. The Hawkins looks like it has a very nice fit. I saw some pics of the Williams bottom metal on the web. It looks like it fits nicely too. I would just have to get it coated to match the stainless, if I went that way. Does anyone have a pic of Sunny Hill bottom metal?

Also for a modification fee they could build up enough to get a flush fit with the Badger floor plate. They said the Williams was different than stock for a model 70 not sure about a 700.
