I have a winchester 70 classic stainless .270 and am looking to replace the factory plastic with a higher quality synthetic stock. I came across stocky's website and they have the B&C Medalist available for a little over $200. Is this a decent stock? My classic has 2 piece bottom metal and the website says i will need to swap to one piece to make it work. What is the least expensive way to swap to one piece bottom metal?
I worked with one on a 700 SA a few years back. It was a pretty well made stock albeit a little heavy since it had a pretty much full length bedding block. I skim bedded the action since the fit was a little loose but the gun shot fine with it. The only complaint would be the weight. I have bought mcmillans since then.
