Have one in a 338 Federal. I believe Hill Country developed that stock when J Earl was there for use with the Win Model 70 action. Its a classic American style stock with very nice lines..... Tim

It has excellent lines, but I ended up flipping it instead of building a gun with it because of the grip radius. The top of the grip was shaped more like the narrow end of a chicken egg, rather than the large/round end. It just seemed like that would drive into the webbing of the shooter's hand in an unpleasant way. It could well be that someone who has actually shot one would tell me that my fears were unfounded.

Doesn’t look smaller than the grip on a Montana or Compact. Both of which are already quite trim to be sure.

I’d have to agree with Doug here. While the grip may not be for everybody, the 308 and 7.25lb scopes 35 Whelen that I’ve had with the Bridges both handled recoil and flip quite well.

My glove size is a L/XL, depending upon brand. I can easily palm a basketball. As far as handling recoil goes, the 338 Win Mag has Edge fill and shoots a 225 TSX at 2900 FPS.

I searched all over a year or so back and no one seemed to have the "rights' to them anymore. Last I saw Earl Bridges now works at Boedeker Brothers Armory in Texas and their facebook shows a custom rifle he built with the stock in June 2016. I emailed them a while back to see if they were selling the stocks and never received a reply.

You can get them for a M70 unlike the sporter which is only inletted for remington & the clones. I'm a M70 fan and it's frustrating dealing with McMillan because their selection of stocks for M70's sucks, it seems like every pattern they'll inlet for a M70 was designed in the '60's with way too much drop at the comb. I have a couple in Hunter's Edge stocks which are good except the comb is far too low so I have to raise them with a pad. I've never handled a Bridges pattern stock but it looks really good to me. To me it looks like a slimmed down Echols legend and the comb is actually high enough for a scope.

It has the high comb of the Game Hunter, but is is sans the cheek rest of the Game Hunter. Comb is higher on the Rifleman than on the McM Game Scout/Warden by about 5/16 of an inch. Additionally, I don't think that the grip is as vertical as the McM variants. Best I could do for a pic since HCR doesn't seem to want to advertise the Rifleman, and all remnants of the Precision Stock Works web site and its contents are long gone. https://cdn.athlonoutdoors.com/wp-c...308match_tactical_riflemanstock_left.jpg I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Not side by side, but have owned them both for M70s. The grip is different (as noted above) and I find the Sako more comfortable... but the shorter and timer for end of the Bridges is nice for slimmer/shorter barrels. Sako Classic is still my favorite McMillan M70 stock for anything over a 22" barrel (and I've tried every other option) "You know why nobody panic buys 30-06 ammo? ...

Has anyone put a MRC 1999 in a Bridges pattern? It appears MRC uses a #2 contour barrel on their ASR, seems like it would be a good fit for this stock. ETA: Failing the above, has anyone put a custom Win 70 w/ a #2 barrel in this stock? Just trying to make a decision on barrel contour for this stock never having held one. I'm pretty sold on using a MRC action due to the gas handling features as this rifle will be used by my wife and daughter. If a #2 is too heavy, I can buy an action and have a lighter barrel installed. Last edited by InternetGuru; 04/06/18.

Yes at least for a M700 they were so should be for the M70 as well. Not sure but these might have a solid action area that is inletted after the molding.

Yes, I believe they charge an extra $35 to fit the tang on 70s. Here is a side by side of the Bridges and the Legend (top) from when I had both at once. Hope it is helpful.

Seems like similar comb height.

I've never seen gunsmith and custom gun prices so high, for so little return. A chunk of their "custom guns" are R700 barred actions, an HCR accruizing job, and a $3500-$4000 price tag. What a joke, but I guess they sell em to suckers every day.

Oh yeah, it’s cerakoted too. https://www.hillcountryrifles.com/product/custom-264-win-mag-on-m700-action/ It’s safe to assume there is more dollars than sense out there. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

I was less than impressed, but I used them one last time to do a 7mm Dakota off a stainless Winchester 70 originally in 300 Win Mag. When I got it back it would not feed. I had to send it out to Penrod to get it straightened out. I would not recommend them. Call Lex Webernick at Rifles, Inc and be happy. “Factio democratica delenda est"
