Paid $650 for the M70 FWT, the Mickey cost $375 (used), dropped it off at a local Smith for a $150 full length bedding job with pillars. EW rifle cost $800 only factory bedding job and is free floated. So yes the Edge rifle is quite a bit more expensive, but if I were buying a stock for a rifle I already had I'd spend the money to upgrade to a McMillan before I bought the B&C the EW wears. Difference in weight is the M70 with the Edge and Leupold VX-II 3-9X40 weighs 7.5 lbs the same as the EW without a scope.
