If you line the rings with ~ 120 deg. (60 deg. top and bottom) of vinyl electrical tape, then it takes very little torque to hold the scope solid. Or, keep breakin'em. GR The expansion forces from the rusting screws should not be underestimated. SS is worth a look. Too close for irons, switching to scope...

Later, around 2008, because Mcmillan was the "easy button," I went the Hunters Edge route, putting a pre-64 30-06 Fwt in a one. Definitely more noticeable recoil. But I'm a slow learner, and ended up with another 6 Hunter's Edge's (another 30-06 Fwt, a 270 Fwt, a 308 Fwt, 308 EW, a 300 WSM, and 300 WSM EW). Again, the easy button. I got rid of my last and have gone back to Bansner's. I have a current one that is going on an M70 EW 6.5CM. I find the Hunters Edge comb and hard Edge fill magnifies recoil compared to the Banser comb, fiberglass shell, and traditional foam fill. Some years ago I shared my thoughts with Dober. He replied, "I thought I was the only one that hated that stock!" But we do tend to like the same things... Someone earlier made the comment that stock fit & design is personal, & that's true. While the Edge is far from my favorite stock, it works fine for it's intended purposes, ie, lighter, more compact builds. The early originals with a .6" Decelerator weigh 21-22 oz. Newer ones seem to be heavier sort of defeating the original purpose of the stock, IMO. My biggest "dislikes" (relative word) are that the grip could be a little more open, & it would benefit from a little less drop at the heel. I don't find the comb itself objectionable. But I won't be buying anymore either..........it's fine, it's just not a favorite. As for Bansner, he would have done well to keep the exterior design of the Hi-Tech Specialties stock when he bought that business, & just improved the construction..........I'm not thrilled with his design, but haven't seen or handled a Miller, so maybe it's an improvement. And I have trouble coming to grips with a $750 for a drop in stock being a "bargain", when a new Kimber Hunter can be had as a complete rifle for under a grand. The original Hi-Tech design was close to a Rem KS stock in ergos which is by far my favorite design.............I wish it would have been available for actions other than a long 700; the Model 7 KS was a turd & just not the same. I have not handled the new versions of the Win EW, so maybe it's been improved, but at $1500, Christensen, Bergara Premier's & Kimber's Ascent start looking really good to me by comparison.........& I've always really liked M-70's. The Featherweight is still a long time favorite. YMMV MM

This is my first one, but I like the FWT pattern stocks so I imagine I'll love it. I'll post pictures once I get it finished out.

Put that to a vote, I'd think you'd be wrong. There are many guys that actually really like them. Brad always promotes the Bansner. I don't care for those at all. Like we all know, everyone is built different and we have our own tastes. But to call it a swing and a miss, is absolutely fu cking stupid.

I think "Swing And A Miss" describes that stock to perfection... absolutely NOT modern stock thinking. “Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I also think that McM made a mistake by not continuing the KS stock & by no bringing out an SA version of it, & by not inletting the Sako Classic for M-70's as well as continuing an up-dated version of the Winlite. I would prefer any of those over the Edge Compact/ JMHO MM

Their only caveat was that by the time the tang area was contoured properly, the checkering pattern didn't match up well. Too close for irons, switching to scope...
