I like my M70 Hunter. It is basically the Sako Hunter for the M70. It has a raised Cheek Piece.

I can mount that rifle blind, get consistent check weld, open my eyes and have perfect scope picture.


So why replace it?

Because its not as stiff as I like and the for end and grip are too thick for my taste.

kman, you'd probably really like the Bansner (high tech specialties) stock then. I think I posted a pic of the one I had on a 30-06 classic sporter (maybe a few pages back)...

This is a good thread, utah708 really had a good idea here. I know it's helped me a time or 2 wink... Brad, your red line photo works great for depicting drop at heel and comb, but the template helps to show how long the forend is, and grip angle and length, which is also helpful info. One of the reasons I bought my Bansner is because you have a high opinion of them. I am glad I tried it out and I feel they are a more comfortable stock to shoot off the bench as compared to the Mcmillan hunters compact edge I had on my EW. The parrallel comb really helps mitigate recoil. They are a dang nice stock in IMHO...

Thanks Brian. That's a great stock design. It's lightweight, stiff and it has great ergos. Like Brad said in an earlier post, it's very similar to the montana stock..

You did great on that snag earlier!!!! Let us know how that classic sporter works out for you. I've swapped stocks on mine so many times and ended up going to the factory Tupperware because it just works for me. Good luck with your new rifle..

BSA,

For some reason, your last photo isn't showing.

Thanks gasman. I'll have to check my photobucket. I may have accidentally deleted that pic. Here's the info and pic again:

2008 Limited edition Model 70: 300 wsm with 24" Extreme Weather tube, Talley lightweight lows, erine the gunsmith trigger spring (breaks clean at 2 3/8 pounds), 60/40 blue/white swirly hunters compact (standard fill), 13.5" LOP, 1" decelerator. This rifle is 8 pounds on the nose and balance is superb. It's great for shooting offhand:

Pretty easy to see why that Brown Precision is so very nice in the recoil department, with the truly high yet straight comb and no dropoff at heel. They are a very nice pattern.

This is a great thread. I am stuck at a crossroad with my win 70 338 24". Hunters edge, compact edge, Brown Precision...?

With a 24" barrel and in 338, I think that the Compact edge is going to look small and recoil more than you'd like.

Get a Brown Precision and be happy with it.

I agree about the compact being out but trying to decide between the Brown Precision and a couple other McMillan patterns
