I don’t like all the changes at McMillan or the price increased but if they still have what I am looking for I still prefer them.
I just checked bansner and it was about $65 cheaper than the McMillan with no tax or shipping. The brown is way more expensive. I don’t particularly like the manners and they don’t have the configurations I want for my current project. I know you can get Hs precision or bell and Carlson quite a bit cheaper but I don’t like the feel of them or the weight.
Who else am I missing?? The McM Edge with a full inlet is a lot more than than $65 difference. A full inlet, in the raw, plus studs, is over $600, plus shipping ($35 or more for shipping these days?). And McM's milling still needs a lot of work, and the last one I received 6-7 years ago weighed 25-26 ozs. The Bansner in the raw is practically a drop in fit and cost me $450 to my door last month, with swivel studs installed, and weighed 21 ozs.

That wasn't even for the "Edge" , just a gel coat fiberglass stock.

Not painted. They actually charge more for gel coat, and the recoil pad is now an upcharge. The last stock I bought from them included recoil pad and two sling studs. The upcharge was a third stud or flush cups.

Glad I bought an edge classic for my 700 a few years back. Rickbin had bought a bunch ofvthem and I purchased through him. Quick and painless.
Fit was perfect and I love it. Price was good at that time. Doubt I would pony up for another.

Looks like Manners is around same price points. Got another McMillan on order now. See how the new ownership team does. Like my odds.

Update
Got a hold of Mcmillan yesterday, they are inletting for the action. They just discontinued the Winchester Hunter stock I wanted. Suggested a Game Warden or HTG instead. Looking for a stock with a raised comb.
I had picked up a Huskie 1640 that has an Edge Sako Hunter stock on it. Like the small amount of cast off and the palm swell. It fits me really well so I wanted to put the same style on my Model 70 FWT. But I will have to keep researching. Thinking Manners EH6 right now.
With Bob Beck buying Mcmillan, it makes sense that the focus will change to a tactical/hunting long range focus.

Did you ask them if you could buy the Sako hunter and inlet it for the m70? I did this a couple of years ago and it worked out very well. Just a thought.

I have this on a FN SPR action...same as an M70. Has a bit of a raised comb, cheekpiece, palm swell and cast-off. Very comfortable sock. McM also has the McM Hunter which is basically the same stock as the Sako Hunter.

I will check with them.
What is the difference between the Sako and McM Hunter stocks?

They will not do either for the Model 70. My choice is pretty much the HTG.
Going to compare specs on that vs EH6.

Well that sucks. That green/black one is an M70 inlet. Maybe something changed in the last 10 years.
The HTG is meh IMO.
