EBAY has dozens of M70 stocks and 99.999% have been hacked off and a recoil pad added. I personally don’t think a recoil pad is needed for anything less than the Big magnum calibers. That M70 weighs 8 1/4# an 8# 30/06 has mild recoil even with heavy loads. Trying to find a decent M70 stock without a recoil pad is not easy. If your mind is set on the pad you could buy the rifle and sell the stock and buy two of the recoil ones. An uncut stock sells in the 300-400 range the chopped ones can be had for less than a 100.The rifle in the pic is definitely over priced I paid less than their asking for a 1950 30/06 still in the box fired only at the factory. If that one sells I’m thinking of putting mine up for sale lol.
