To the OP... I'd grab a McM Compact or Hunter pattern for an IN deer stand gun. But if the expense, wait, and ergos are right the Legend can't be beat. I like that! Me too!!! I'm picturing my 338 in that stock. I'm a little hesitant though because of the right hand cast off on the echols legends. Not good for a left hand shooter.. He makes a lefty that is cast on.

He did tell me that his version is virtually identical to the WSSM version by another guy, however he was VERY clear that he uses the WSM not the WSSM case. Thanks for the input. kstockfo

I really like the Compact, but I could use a tad higher comb. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

The Legend is my favorite pattern for large calibers/rifles based on the M70, and the compact for the trimmer ones. Same here. Love the feel/lines of the Legend. I really think the no.2 contour is the bare minimum for the Legend (even those look a bit small in it), and really think something no.3 and over looks/balances better. “Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Just FYI: The Legend stock can be inlet (by McMillan), and ordered (from D'Arcy), for a short action Model 70. There's probably not that many around, but it is available.

He's a great guy - trying to decide on the scopes, leaning toward Z6 1.7-10x42. These are a great example of buy once, cry once. My kid is 18 and I'm hoping my grandkids will enjoy these rifles one day.
