I have not read the whole post so this may be redundant .
I have an early model 70 stainless Tupperware sn 174000 in 3006. I could not get it to shoot consistently. The Tupperware was very flexible and bent one way on the heat and a different way on the cold..I decided to replace the stock. This was before the “edge” stocks and I am too cheap to pay that price for a slight weight reduction I used a Winchester featherweight stock from a 3006 and had Craig Douglas a Saskatchewan gunsmith who is a perfectionist glass bed the action and open the barrel channel. It now shoots one inch 5 shot groups. The Tupperware weighs one 1 lb 15 1/2 oz. the complete rifle bare weighs 7 lbs 2 oz.
