Would a thumb-hole stock like on this M70 work for your wrist? I can ask the doctor where he got it. Shot this 7x8 elk in NV.
Absolutely, please do.

I’ve got very similar rifles to you - a Nexus 300 prc and a recently bought Gunwerks Clymr in 6.5 PRC for my lightweight rifle with a 20” barrel.The lightweight rifles are an interesting and somewhat polarizing subject. Some of them don't feel right to me. I have found the Gunwerks to be easy to shoot with their stock design and balance. I have a friend with a NULA and it doesn't feel right to me. It's light to the point of being whippy...it doesn't really settle in...or I have to fight to settle it down with lots of muscle tension if that makes sense. I think rifles can be too light.
Not to derail the conversation, but have you found the Gunwerks to be worth the money?I’ve got very similar rifles to you - a Nexus 300 prc and a recently bought Gunwerks Clymr in 6.5 PRC for my lightweight rifle with a 20” barrel.
I’d buy another Clymr in 7 PRC (or 7 SAUM if I was a hand loader) if I wanted a little more bullet weight and diameter for moose. I wholeheartedly agree that there is a point of diminishing returns where a lighter rifle becomes less shootable and accurate in my hands. My Clymr feels like the perfect balance of weight and shootability. TBH, it hasn’t made it to the range yet![]()
Yes, for my purposes. I’ve done a few of their courses so have shot a number of their rifles and have a great deal of confidence in every one of them. I am selling off rifles that are less often used to defray the cost and to declutter. When you find a rifle or two that shoot very well, fill you with confidence, and fit you DON’T sell them no matter the brand. Very little I can’t hunt with a 300 PRC or a 6.5 PRC, will mostly depend upon the terrain and the size of the game which I carry.Not to derail the conversation, but have you found the Gunwerks to be worth the money?
I remember eyeing their LR-1000 a while back when they came out with the 7 LRM, but it seemed awfully pricey.
Got home now so sending pictures you and @WAB requested! The pictures are from 2005 & 2004 before digital cameras on cell phones so I took pictures of the 35 mm pictures so not the best quality for posting. I hunted Sonora quite a bit back then. Took the heavy 6x5 130” Coues deer on the first evening of a 2005 trip and a 36” wide mule deer scoring 197” the very next morning. Deer hunt of a lifetime with two B&C deer! Please don’t hate me LOL. Also took a 113” Coues deer in 2004.Whoa, whoa, whoa...you can't just drop a bomb saying 130" Coues without a photo. I have to see it. I was proud of this 100" Coues at 520 yards. I worked my butt off for that Coues after a week in the cactus.

Does anyone know of a lightweight vertical grip option, in either a stock or chassis, for a M70 WSM?

The hnt26 are awesome for the lightweight factor. However a few things to keep in mind.
No "bag rider" and I find the stock to be too small to comfortably use with a rear bag.
Second thing is many folks have problems with "shifting zero" due to the recoil lug design. There is a fix out there. Soldier Mountain Arms does an aluminum block that allows the front recoil lug to be glass bedded. This helps tremendously.
