Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Synthetic Stock for 70 Safari Express?

Did Winchester ever make a synthetic stock with 1 piece bottom metal that was in-letted for the front recoil lug on a 70 Safari Express 375H&H? THX

Milwroad, since no one else has addressed this, I'll give you my 2 cents worth.

As far as I know, the answer is NO. The only synthetic stock that Winchester ever made for a larger round was the Stainless/Synthetic 375H&H rifle. It was not called a Safari Express and the stock was not set up for accepting the barrel mounted recoil lug found on the Safari Express rifles. You may be able to modify the stock to use one with a barrel mounted recoil lug, though. I've got a Stainless/Synthetic 375 H&H at home but I can't recall if it has the 1 piece bottom metal. However, I'm pretty sure it is a 2 piece. I've got a couple of Safari Express rifles at home as well and I believe the barrels on them match the barrels on the Stainless, so in theory, you could probably make the synthetic stock work with a Safari Express if you really wanted to.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Test, I appreciate the response and given I have not found a factory synthetic that has one piece bottom metal and inletted for that express front lug I think you are correct. Thanks again.
