Sometimes you might have do some fitting, on my Mod.116, Sav, weather warrior I had to take a bunch out of the barrel Chanel, and some out of the action..you want to make sure the barrel isn't touching..

a dremel tool is a must..good luck

I bought one last year for my Winchester Mod 70 in a 30-06. It was a finished laminated stock. Nice looking, but I could never get it to fit right. Floor plate wouldn't open, once I got that to work ok, the bolt couldn't open. I put the old stock back on.

I've heard this from a few guys including my gunsmith.That's why i'll let him do it. He's charging $175 to bed the action & fit the stock and touch-up any finish that he's got to remove to fit the barrel.........IMO it's worth it cause i've never done it before.

Installed serveral in my shop. Good quality at a very good price. Never had too many issues fitting or finishing their stocks.

Jerry,

I just got my Win Model 70 (30-06) back from the gunsmith. Fitted, glass bedded, aluminum pillars, custom crown on the end of the barrel, new Leupold base and rings, and a new Swaro to top it off :party0005:

Very nice Rob!!!!! That's the color stock i'm looking to get...nutmeg.Rob if you dont mind me asking what did the smith charge you for the work you had done?

Jerry,

Fitted, glass bedded, aluminum pillars, and custom crown on the end of the barrel came to $180. I also bought the Leupold base and rings from him and he mounted and bore sighted the scope for $60.

Hope this helps . . . Rob
