One could do a lot worse than this rifle!!!
Shot a friends many years ago(80's) up in Alaska, not knowing anything back then about McMillan stocks, etc. It felt like a quality rifle then and shot like one too! Why??? It was a quality rifle and still is!!! Remington pulled it off too with the reasonably priced 700FS made for a couple of years in the 80's. Sleepers...
Wish I was 20 years younger and needed another 7 Mag.
Bump for one of the better deals of the day!

Bump for one of the better deals of the day! The McMillian stocks on the Winlites were above the quality the Brown Precision stocks used on the Remington 700Fs models.....I owned both. The 7mm mag was a joy to carry and very accurate as most mid 80's Model 70's were.

I may be mistaken, but this is likely a Brown Precision stock. Winchester used both McMillan and Brown on the Winlites. I had one in 30-06 for a bit and I believe the sporter stocks are all Brown while the Featherweight stocks with the Schnable forend are McMillan. Regardless, this was a smoking deal. Congrats to the buyer.

It's a McMillan. The Winchester Classic is the stock used for the factory Winchester Winlite rifle. This stock has a classic comb, no cheek piece and is available for Short or Long Model 70 Actions as well as Featherweight or Standard Sporter barrel contour. Stock will accept up to a #5 contour. Drop-in.
