G'day all,

I need some advice as I need to rebuild my Model 70 in 404.

Originally it was a 270 Win that was opened up and a 404 barrel screwed in (this is how I bought it). I have had it reinforced and bedded to prevent major damage to the stock.

What type of bottom metal should I get for this gun in order to hold four down?

Secondly should I get a synthetic or a laminate stock as I need something that is reliable and can take a few knocks. I am left handed so I can not just get the Mcmillan Safari stock as they do not seem to make it in left hand!

I know that this will not 'look' like a classic big bore but I am more concerned about functionality than aesthetics with this gun!
