    Model 70 300 wsm Classic Stainless rebarrel

    SDHNTR, You are right. A classic should remain a classic with the proper barrel contour. Plus it will be easier to stock. When I talked with LRI they advised that they had stainless barrels made for them. Not sure what company though. The barrel guy told me and it wasn’t a company that I had...

    Model 70 300 wsm Classic Stainless rebarrel

    I have worked on the trigger. It’s actually not bad and pretty easy to adjust. It’s set at 2.5 lbs. using my trigger scale.

    Model 70 300 wsm Classic Stainless rebarrel

    I actually called Longrifles today. You’re right, not cheap but it sounds and looks like they really know what they are doing. I’m thinking about going that route. Still debating on the proof barrel vs a typical stainless. Finding a stock I like for a sendero lite profile is the next challenge.

    Model 70 300 wsm Classic Stainless rebarrel

    I found the original box for the rifle. I bought it new in 2003. It’s mostly been a safe queen. I did kill a couple of black bears with it though. I also had the idea that I was going to use it for an elk hunt. I shot it quite a bit trying to get it to shoot consistently for that hunt but… I...

    Model 70 300 wsm Classic Stainless rebarrel

    A new barrel requires an extractor cut. Not many people, at least what I’ve read use Model 70 actions anymore. I understand why but I’m old enough to have read all the stuff from Jack O’Conner and Outdoor Life that it’s the “Rifleman’s Rifle” even though I could only hope to be!

    Model 70 300 wsm Classic Stainless rebarrel

    I love the 300 wsm. I think it fits just about every North American hunt other than big bears. I also have a 300 wsm in a CA Ridgeline that I load for. The Model 70 that I have in 300 wsm will shoot moa most of the time… then when I think I have it figured out…Not! The Model 70 Stainless...

    Model 70 300 wsm Classic Stainless rebarrel

    I have a Win Model 70 Classic Stainless in 300 wsm I would like to Rebarrel. I’m thinking in 6.5 PRC with a short 20 or 22 in Proof barrel for a suppressor. Spend my money… Other components? Suggested smiths to do the work? I have zero experience in builds, other than reading tons of threads...

    Hornady 300 WSM 200gr ELD-x

    I emailed Hornady during the summer of 2022 regarding their Precision Hunter in 300 WSM. They stated that they didn’t plan on tooling up for the round and didn’t know when they would. Apparently to busy with the PRC rollouts.

    Suggestions for 300wsm load

    This… I have a Christensen Arms Ridgeline in .300WSM. It shoots the Hornady Precision Hunter factory load in under an inch. However I can’t find them anywhere and Hornady when I asked about a production run of them stated that they were not sure when they were going to produce any. I tried the...

    Is kimber my only option?

    I’ve got a Mountain Ascent in 30-06. It’s under moa and I have been shooting steel at 400, about my max with that rifle. It’s great to carry.

    Hornady Ammo

    I’m hoping for some precision hunter in .300 wsm. Can’t find it anywhere. Starting to worry they aren’t going to produce it this year.

    Boots!

    Kenetrek’s, I’ve been putting the miles on them and haven’t had an issue yet. They are stiff at the start but when you get by that, all good.

    To Drive or Fly? Fuel Costs Predictions for October

    Arizona late rifle elk. 1800 miles 1 way from Michigan. I’m going to drive, by the time I pay for flights and rental car and hopefully antlers and meat on the way back I’ll still be ahead.

    450 Bushmaster Recoil

    I use a Ruger American .450 Bushmaster to hunt with in Michigan. It is stainless with a 22 inch barrel, no muzzle brake. Shoots an inch at 100 yards and I don't think the recoil is bad at all. It's the rifle in my banner with a 2022 Michigan buck.
