Iv put my big bore build on hold for the time being, with another build that’s taken priority. I should keep this one updated pretty regularly this winter, hoping to have it ready for spring bear season.
This go around wer restocking a basically new, 1959 model 70 chambered in .338wm. Originally it had a 25” barrel, but it’s been cut to 22”, so collector value has left the building. Instead, we’ll turn it into a heirloom piece that will get used and handled down generations rather then a collector item that sits in a safe.
This will be a classic design with a couple ad on’s that the owner would like, it will have a couple changes that will make it a very unique stock, I hope.
The grain flow in this blank isn’t the ideal, but we’ll make it work, and shoot.
I’m not sure which is older, the rifle or my tools?
