FN PBR same pattern as a Win M70?

[Richard.Howe]

I'm starting to think about using my FN PBR as the basis for a Yost Bonitz custom rifle, now that M70s are getting harder to find. Does the FN PBR or PBR XP line use the same stock/action screw/magazine dimensions as a Win M70? Specifically -- can I buy a M70 McMillan stock and have it retrofitted to accommodate the heavy barrel?

Here is a link to the rifle:

Yep! The FN PBR and SPR use Winchester actions, so the only variable is the barrel channel needed in what is essentially a Winchester stock. Tell Kelly what you have and he will take care of you.
