McMillan Stock Question - 03/30/23
I’m currently in the beginning stages of building my first custom ride on a Pre-64 Model 70 platform. I already have the action ordered, a standard length manufactured in 1951. I’m thinking of going with a McGowen barrel, and have pretty much settled on Blackburn bottom metal. Where I’m still undecided is the stock. Ideally I want a quality synthetic stock that has a cheek piece with shadow line, as well as checkering. Looking at McMillan’s current offerings, it appears that the closest stock would be their Winchester Supergrade. This stock does not have a shadow line, and I’m thinking it may be a little beefier than I ideally want in a .270. I saw that they offer the Sako Classic, which has everything I want. My question is this. Could I order a flat top Sako Classic and have a smith inlet it to fit a model 70?
