Factory McMillan winlite or hunters compact/compact edge. There are other options out there, but those are my favorite stock designs for a fwt rifle.

McMillan Edge is a good fit for a Featherweight.

I believe that is a hunters compact/compact edge. The one I mentioned^^ Unless they changed the name again.?? Also, since no one else is giving the op any ideas, I'll list a few that I like the looks of on a fwt rifle.
1. Mcmillan featherweight
2. Bansner
3. Bridges pattern.
4. Pacific Research/Borden Rimrock if you can find one.
5. Brown Precision PoundR. More because of weight. Forend seems a little long to put on a fwt rifle, but a damn nice stock
6. Supergrade featherweight. They likely don't inlet that one anymore.

A lot of good choices out there. By the way, very nice rifle gunnut.. Personally, that is my favorite Mcmillan for a fwt rifle. I've had a couple and they fit me like a glove:

Even talked my buddy into getting one for his pre 64 model 70 308 fwt:

Same yes kinda.. They are made in the same mold. McMillan Hunters Edge Sporter to be exact.

McMillan calls it the Hunters Compact when it’s ordered in fiberglass with gelcoat camo, marble or paint finish options.

Yep bsa the Bansner is another good one.

If someone was really on the cheap, they could just go with a spruced up factory tupperware:

With proper glass bedding, paint and texture and a new recoil pad, these can be made to work very well..
