I have a Winchester model 70 XTR in 30-06 made in the 80's some time, and am looking into getting a synthetic stock to put on it so I dont have to worry about damaging the nice, original, kinda fancy wood one when I take it out hunting, target shooting, etc. My question is, whenever I'm browsing long action aftermarket stocks, there is rarely any further distinctions made between the 20 or so different model 70's tat were made, other than long vs short action or pre vs post '64, with th exception that occasionally, one says "model 70 featherweight". Would a stock listed as being for the "featherweight" types work on my xtr? Is there a significant difference between the featherweight long ations compared to all the other long actions (as none of the other types is ever specifically "singled out" in the stock info like the featherweights)? If there is a diffrence, is it something minor that can be taken care of at home with some common sense and a Dremel, or such, or was the diffrence majr enough that te work would be not worth it or impossible?Thanks all.
