What contour barrel and what purpose?
I have 3 Model 70s currently and they are all wearing McMillan handles. I've a Supergrade for my .416, a Hunter's Edge for a Featherweight contour and a Edge fill HTG for a carbon wrap barrel. Each has their place, though for a general purpose #2-3 contour I'd almost certainly use the McMillan Hunter style stock in standard fill with a gelcoat finish. I've used other synthetic stocks, but I've found McMillan is easily the best for lots of reasons. I'll try to post some pics in a bit.Foolishness is a moral category, not an intellectual one.

Here is an interesting link on restocking Model 70's. Specifically, the Black Shadow which came with the FWT bbl contour I believe. May not match with what you are doing exactly, but might be a resource for figuring out which bottom metal and floorplate you have/need for the type of stocks available. I am looking to do just that with a Black Shadow that I recently picked up. Nice shooting rifle, but the stock is not growing on me and I dont care for the blind magazine.

Heres a link to Stocky stocks, there is a pull down menu thing on there that will give you the different options they have available:

Are you just lookig for a factory replacement that's not cut down? I believe I remember you saying you cut the original stock on that rifle, you can check out CDNN and get a factory synthetic for it. They also sell factory wood stocks on there too. That stainless 243 with a fwt wood stock on it would be a really good looking rifle.
Oooorrrr you could trade me your stainless one, for my brand new blued one.....Some people call it sky busting... I call it optimism

Yes, I shortened the LOP and did a temporary recoil pad. I was wanting a camo composite stock with the color in the stock as opposed to "on" the stock. At this point the cost of a McMillian is not justifiable, so it looks like the existing stock will get a rattle can paint job.

I have a Basners synthetic stock with a Confederate Grey finish on my .338 Mod. 70 "Classic Stainless. It is light weight compared to many synthetic stocks. It also has no checkering if that is an issue. I really like it, especially the way they contoured the forearm and they will put about any length of pull and recoil pad on it. You can order them as a finished stock or a do it your self stock. Is that McMillan Edge stock the one D'Arcy Echols designed? Heard good things about it also.
