Watch eBay if the classifieds don’t produce. CDNN used to have them but no longer. 1 or 2 piece bm?

I should have read your whole post. I believe GunBroker may have them.

I’m new to Winchester’s so forgive my ignorance. Are there any differences between a standard Supergrade stock and a Featherweight Supergrade? I would guess the barrel channel is a smaller diameter on the featherweight, can that be opened up to accept a 30-06 Supergrade sporter barrel

Caveat to be attentive to "era" of Model 70 as you shop! Only your reference to "long action" provided a clue of not pre '64! Also the notation of 'heads up' re old pads which may be hard!
Good luck!
