Yup, that's certainly a solution. I understand there are kits that allow us to do this at home. I think they need to be baked in an oven. Which is fine, my wife is used to seeing gun parts in the oven, car parts in the dishwasher, etc. I would be just a bit worried about surface prep, though. If I do it I would probably send it out to a pro. It's not like I couldn't live without it for awhile - I have two other .375's. How in the hell that happened still baffles me, but somehow here I am.
The M70 in question is in the middle, wearing a Boyd's laminated stock. I used that stock for exactly one hunt and just couldn't stand it. It's prettier than the glass stock, but twice as heavy, and just very poorly proportioned. It feels like I'm holding a baseball bat by the wrong end. The other two rifles are a #1 Tropical and a M98 Mauser:
