Good stuff BSA.
How did the Monte Carlo fit the P-64 Fwt? Most P-64 have a rise in the back end on the trigger guard that needs to be modified on most aftermarket stocks. I’ve been told that is not the case with the Monte Carlo. Tom, the montecarlo is an exact match for the pre 64 monte carlo factory stock. The one thing I did not like about it was the weight. I really believed the swirly weighed more than the factory wood stock. Because of this, I opted to pull it from the light featheweight action and use it on my 375H&H... It was a much better fit on the old H&H.. There is a lot of meat on the back end of that stock. Was yours standard or edge fill? I am thinking edge fill with a 1/2” lightweight pad would complement a Fwt pretty well. Mine was a swirly and at the time they didn't offer the swirly in edge fill. I dont know if mcmillan does a swirly in edge fill now, but they probably do....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Here is a Hunters EDGE on a Featherweight 30-06 [Linked Image] [Linked Image] [Linked Image] I like that stock a lot on the P64 30-06/270 recoil class cartridges

I replaced mine with a Legend but is a nice copy as BSA said. [Linked Image]

Because of this thread, I ordered a McMillan Featherweight McWoody from Rick. Expect to be happy with it! Sounds like a winner! Excellent thread gentlemen.

Just picked up a new Extreme Weather in 7-08. Deal was too good to pass up. The factory stock is more than functional for me other than no checkering. It seemed to get pretty slick with a little bit moisture. After reading many threads on this stock, it seems many have replaced with a Mcmillan edge/compact or hunter. Most examples have been LA versions. Anyone have experience with either/or in a SA? I spoke with Mcmillan today and they suggested the Hunter using up to a 42-44mm scope.
