Yesterday I received my bottom metal from Winchester. Wow! I finally got bottom metal and it looks great. Will miracles never cease. I am at least glad I did not have to go crawling back to PT&G after the way they treated me when I tried to order from them. All that is left now is to wait for my McEdge stock to arrive. I will post the weight results of my rifle when finished. Thanks to all that have posted on this thread. RJ
