I am interested in the Winchester M70 (along with several other options).
I absolutely love the scroll styling and checkering on the M70 Classic Featherweight ( http://www.winchesterguns.com/prodinfo/catalog/detail.asp?cat_id=535&type_id=004&cat=001C ). Unfortunately, they are a couple hundred bucks more than I can spend anytime soon (they seem to be in the $650-750 range around here last I looked, and that was at least 6 months ago). Walmart has the M70 with the sythetic stock for pretty cheap most of the time ($300-400).
So I was thinking. Would it be possible to buy the Walmart special and later put on the nicer stock? If the Featherweight stock would even fit, where would I be able to buy just the stock? How much would they likely cost? In other words, is this a viable option?
