Here are some pictures of the stocks.  One has the metal buttplate with tongue.  The other is just like it with a Pachmayr recoil pad.  They are the same length.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

This doesn't look like a Winchester Model 70 stock, IMHO.



It looks like a Mauser stock, since it has a wood notch cut out where the Mauser  receiver wall thumbcut is located.

Both stocks have been altered/inletted, just ahead of the bolt handle notch, for the base of a receiver peep sight - definitely aftermarket.

Are you sure these are model 70 stocks?
The cut out on the top left of the stocks above the magazine is wrong and the top right just ahead of the bolt cut out is also wrong.

I don't think these are for a WINCHESTER MODEL 70.
I have over 35 model 70s, all the way back to a pre war model and I have never seen a stock like this on a 70.

Rangr may be right.
I can't really say as I have never owned a Mauser.
