My M70 classic stainless just got it's new McMillan yesterday, an Edge fill Winlite. With the peep sight it weighs 7lbs 2 oz, and 7lbs 14 oz with the VX II 2-7. The old standard fill Winlite developed a tiny crack. When McMillan said they were replacing it under warranty I upgraded to Edge fill. This rifle gets used on brown bears, goats, deer, and grouse with either 286gr Noslers at 2430 or 286gr cast bullets at 1350. Perfect cartridge for Southeast Alaska.
