Great choice to go with a m70 WSM action on a SAUM. 3” factory mag box and they feed the SAUM smooth. Their is a slight weight difference but not enough to make a difference IMO especially if you run PTG aluminum M70 bottom metal instead of factory.


I'm assuming they fit the Short Action footprint on stocks still?
