    Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

    Model 70 to 7PRC?

    thanks, but it's just a Win Featherweight SA takeoff walnut. It's a little more svelte because it came off a Compact with shorter youth LOP. I love it as my 223 trainer, in part because all my other bolt guns are M70 /FN SPR types

    Model 70 to 7PRC?

    I still prefer CRF but the Rangers push feeds I have handled have been solid. Rangers are usually a birch stock with sights, this one has been bedded into a walnut stock. While it's not a "RSS", it's a great little shooter. I hunt M70's so I prefer to have same trigger & safety etc...

    Howa VS Tikka

    Yes, but in this case a good gunsmith should be able to just trim yours a little to allow longer COAL. Depending on how much you want to go longer, you may need to tweak or switch out the box too. Please note I'm NOT a smith, but this is pretty common adjustment for a M70 rechamber...

    Howa VS Tikka

    To clarify, I believe M70 long action push feed bolt used a different bolt stop and box for shorter cartridges, but bolt itself is same 308 vs 30-06 etc. In your case going from 308 to 7-08 shouldn't take any adjustments. (of course changing to magnum means opening up bolt face or changing...

    Howa VS Tikka

    That era of Model 70 should be a long action, as they didn't have a true short action until mid-80s, so OAL wouldn't be an issue.

    Schmidt & Bender PMII 6x42 P3 1/10mil Capped Turrets Special Release $1999.99

    I have two Win 70's that I hunted for years with other scopes, but discovered do not enough windage adjustment for the 3-12x42 Klassic.

    Scope rings / base for model 70

    My current M70 two piece combo is Burris Xtreme base with Seekins Precision rings. (M70 Classic LA with Burris base, Seekins low, LRHS 3-12 is below). The Seekins are bulkier, but have been very solid for me. Full rail provides more mounting flexibility, but usually is higher.

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    ... still overthinking things, but I finally found some 130gr TMK ! To be clear I haven't seen a white tail walk away from a 129gr SST, but I'm curious

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    ....and I just received a bunch more 129gr SST as an alternate to the unobtainable TMK ; - ) TMK is clearly 'more-better', but SST seem to work pretty well on whitetails. I'm overthinking again.

    Norma golden target bullets?

    I've shot a bunch of the 130s in both 260 & 6.5 swede in matches. I think the 'hunting' and 'expansion' reference is new. I do know I did some research a few years ago because these shot so well, and I didn't find anything at that time... Looking for reliable and accurate ammunition for...

    6.5 creed vs 30-06

    hey, I recognize that range ! I ended up doing yard work, a lot less fun

    Polishing resizing dies

    yes, following instructions that Muley Buck posted in that older thread helps a lot. I'll also run a cleaning mop through die occasionally, it's surprising how much crud can build up

    Illuminated Scope or No?

    I don't need it very often, but a center dot that can be adjusted low has made it much easier to see a dark animal against dark woods at last light. S&B Klassic is very nice example

    .260 Remington do-all?

    My bud has had great results with similar (but now discontinued) Hornady 6.5 swede 129gr SST factory Superperformance ammo. After seeing his results I started playing around with 129 SST and H4350.

    .260 Remington do-all?

    I remember 6.5 swede & 6.5x08 ; - ) and I keep coming back to 129gr Interlock or SST

    Thinking about purchasing a Nightforce nxs 2.5-10x42 for my 375HH

    Packing for trips - whats your luggage/baggage?

    I prefer a large "deployment" type duffel if I need that much gear, but there is a weight penalty over lighter weight REI style. My current one (LBT) has internal and external organization pockets, which is nice.
