I could probably deal with that much better than the EW medalist...

Yup that appears to be it. In addition to being shorter it's leaner too. Sales Rep AT Stocky's said the stock she had in hand L/A weighed 30 ounces and was 30" long.

You can examine the stock I got and the factory EW that bsa posted side by side and see differences. The angle off the back side of the grip, the height of the butt portion behind the grip all the way to the pad. The grip thickness and of course it's shorter like the compact version from McM. I couldn't nail it at first but this is definately trimmer and it's obvious in the hand. Needless to say I am just happy I got what I got!

I think they have re-designed the stocks, this is a replacement EW I just got back for Winchester, the first one had the clubby black stock, this one is definitely slimmer. ![[Linked Image]](http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad310/snowboardguy7605/Mobile%20Uploads/20150210_172019_zpsae221e46.jpg)

My buddies got a 270 ew in an edge. I like the way it feels, but I prefer a fwt/edge combo than the ew/edge.

Yeah my favorite rifle is a 30-06 pre64 FWT/edge combo, but I'm a fan of any handy combo. I would like to get my hands on a short action EW/edge to see how it feels compared to the 270.

This is the stock I saw at the Winchester booth at SHOT Show in January. I immediately noticed that it felt slimmer. I asked the rep and he said the stock was redesigned to be slimmer.

Old Elk Hunter, It appears the stock that the OP got is now called the Medalist Ultra-Light. Here it is on Stocky's website for $269. https://www.stockysstocks.com/bell-...e-weather-u-s-repeating-arms-stocks.html, It is not checkered and it has the same model numbers as the OP's stock from Redhawk Rifles for $249.

As I stated earlier, I've owned a bunch of McM stocks, but at the price point of $249 and immediate availability for this new style B&C, it's really a no brainer. For those of you that have owned the original Rem Ti take offs and liked them, IMO this is a very similar stock.

For those of you that have owned the original Rem Ti take offs and liked them, IMO this is a very similar stock. Thanks for bringing up this thread. When I purchased my 70 a few weeks ago there was one on the rack, it felt fantastic and I told the guy at the counter that I would be right back, went out to the car to get some stuff. It was sold by the time I came back  in less then 5 minutes. The owner of the LGS told me that they had one more left.. I looked it over for issues found none and purchased it . I have a feeling that the one that was sold out from under me was the one with your stock dimensions it was black with white effects while mine is all black. I have a short action 270 WSM that I am on the fence about selling and the 264 , I think the 270 WSM gets a edge compact but I am thinking of putting the stocky stocks "new" medalist on my new 264 and selling the other in the classifieds.

Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.
