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. What type of bottom metal should I get for this gun in order to hold four down?
The first thing you need is a Brownells catalog (http://www.brownells.com/).

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!
McMillan makes left-hand models of the Supergrade and the Classic (http://www.mcmfamily.com/).
WINCHESTER SUPERGRADE The Winchester Supergrade is an exact copy of the factory Supergrade, which has a classic straight comb with cheekpiece, and fine checkering. Its medium-width forend will accept up to and including a #5 barrel contour, which makes this an excellent choice for large caliber rifles. Available for all Winchester Model 70 actions in right and left hand.
WINCHESTER CLASSIC Winchester Classic is the stock used for the Winchester Winlite rifle. This stock has a classic comb, no cheekpiece, and is easy to handle. It is available for short or long Model 70 actions as well as featherweight or standard sporter barrel contours. It will accept up to a #5 contour. The stock has no checkering. Available in right and left hand.
If you are truly interested in a laminated stock, try Boyds (http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/).
Take care, Tom
