Winchester 70 question

dualquads
Howdy from Texas! Sorry to be forever buggin' you guys! I have a Win. Model 70 in 7 Mag. It has a lightweight synthetic stock, and no ploorplate. If I want to restock this rifle, do I have to find a stock that has no opening for a floorplate, or can I have this rifle altered to have a magazine floorplate that opens from the bottom? I hate this stock, but I haven't seen a replacement that didn't have an opening in the bottom for the magazine floorplate. Any suggestions are very much appreciated, as usual. Thanks, Barry L.

    Did Winchester in the late 1940's ever produce a model 70 target in 257 roberts with a marksman stock and 24" barrel?

    No, it is not. The term "XTR" was introduced in 1978 (on the Model 23 double barrel shotgun), and regardless of which Model it is attached to, it simply means that Winchester used slightly better wood and checkered it. On some models, it also includes a jeweled (engine turned) bolt, and a higher polished bluing.
