Hello all, call me Dave! I am in possession of a Winchester Model 70 Westerner in 30-06, serial #G159xxxx (presumably a post 1964 model, based on the "G" prefix I believe?) I have a couple questions about the rifle in question...

1) I'm looking to update the rifle to a newer, more modern look. I have been looking at various aftermarket stocks, but have not found anything specific to an M70 westerner. Would a standard long-action M70 stock fit this model? Particularly the Hogue brand rifle stocks with full length OR pillar bedding.

2) What is the value of this rifle in average (50-75%) condition AS IS? The bluing is fading and there is a very shallow pit in the stock (can provide pics tomorrow)

Good to meet you gentlemen, look forward to hearing back from ya'll!
