Winchester 70 Stock Question - 08/06/12
I am about to receive a Winchester Model 70 Classic 300 WIN Mag made in 2001 or so. It has the two piece floorplate/trigger guard. I am thinking of restocking it when i get it and need to know 1) will a standard LA Win 70 stock fit or do I need a Magnum action stock?, 2) is the 300 WM barrel contour the same as a 30-06 Win 70 sporter barrel contour?, 3) will my action fit a new Model 70 one piece floorplate stock if I buy a new one piece bottom metal? Finally, 4) I have a really nice featherweight stock from a new haven Model 70 but the recoil lug seems to be almost cosmetic. Its just a black dot and I do not see a heavier lug like on the later rifles. I assume that stock, even if the action fits will be insufficient? I assume I need one with a heavier recoil lug? Help apreciated on these questions.Thanks
