Hello all,
New to this forum so go easy on my first post. I just inherited a Win Model 70 in 30-06 with a 3x9 Leupold scope(not Chinese). What I want to do won't make economic sense and I don't sell guns anway(well hardly ever) but I would like to restock the rifle doing the finishing work myself. Problem is as configured it is a blind magazine and I want (or think I want) an Oberndorf one piece bottom metal.
Any potential issues? This will be a hunting rifle, I already like the trigger and have not even adjusted it yet and the bolt is smooth as butter. I know it is not CRF and don't plan on shooting dangerous game with this rifle anyhow, I just want to make it look nice.
I hate to spend $350 on bottom metal, just wondering if I found pre-64 bottom metal if it would fit without major work.
Thanks for your ideas and suggestions.
