Found another Deluxe stock about the same time I found a screaming deal on this used 7mm WSM stainless.
She went from this:
To this:
Still might switch out the sling swivel studs from blued to stainless. Not sure yet
For those that haven't seen the last upgrade, it went from this:
To this with a new stock and a cerakoted extractor:
I think the new SS M70 looks great with that nice piece of walnut wrapped around it! I have, for some odd reason, always liked the look of SS & walnut on a rifle. I was given a S/A walnut stock from a M77 Hawkeye by a friend and immediately bolted it to a SS Hawkeye I had in .338 Fed after first sealing the inside of the stock. I figured, now sealed, it is still a pretty darn weather resistant set-up.
Good looking M70 you "cobbled up" there!

Been debating on whether or not to do something similar to that. Not sure whether to go with light rings and matte scope or light scope/dark rings.

With the walnut I like the matching rings (light) and matte scope. I also like it on the other Hawkeye(.358) shown which has a Boyd's pepper laminate stock. The matte scope goes really well with that barreled action/stock combo. The only other SS rifle I have is a 700 Ti with the original lightweight synthetic stock and the combo I settled on there was a silver scope blue rings/bases to go with the SS (and titanium) action/barrel and black stock.

Nice changing out that plastic stock! I'm not a stainless fan so I think a can of high temp black stove paint would help. Great looking jod though. I like that wood on the other rifle too!
