The only issue there is the M70 is a fair bit heavier than something like the Montana for all day stalking in the snow. But I totally agree, a Bansner/McMillan clad M70 Fwt is an awfully nice still-hunting setup, and miles ahead of the M7. My current is a McMillan Edge / 22" SS M70 308 Win FWT. I've also used a Bansner / 21" SS M70 30-06 FWT. I took several good bulls still-hunting with the 30-06.


I was referencing the Model Seven when I typed M7. Didn't mean to direct anything to towards the M70....but the blueprint you noted is a nice one, works well with the Extreme Weather and an Edge stock.

Well My Model Seven came to me as the wood stocked version with the skinny barrel. I sold the stock and put one that came on a Predator on it and it made a heck of a difference. It's balance point is an inch or so behind the front action screw and is pretty light with it's 3 power Weaver scope. I have no trouble shooting it offhand and recently shot a hog in the face with it offhand at 75 yards. If I were to put a bit more scope on it with a bigger objective I bet it would be right on the front action screw. This rifle really shoots well and I wish I had had it a long time ago. Mine is a 7-08.
