WY gunsmith Randy Selby just returned my reworked Model 70. The minute I picked it up I knew it was a completely different rifle. No more barrel heavy feel and it shed around 20 oz of weight. The barrel was re contoured, cut to 22 inches and given a great recessed crown. The stainless barrel was bead blasted and the sights re set. He bedded the reworked metal in my HS-Precision stock. This is my second big bore rifle Randy has worked on and he is very reasonable with good turn around time. Can't wait to take it hunting. | ||

Got any pictures? I want to do the same set up (just not stainless) If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter! | |||

The Stainless Classic M70's are a very good rifle. I think the best thing I did to a couple of mine was the addition of the McMillan Supergrade stock. I know the factory plastic stocks are ok, and accurate stocks, but the McMillan gave it just the right feel and a solid feel too. The bedding and pillars didn't hurt anything either. | |||

Mine was rebored, cut to 22" and rechambered to a 458 Lott. Wears a McMillan Express stock. Weighs under 9.5 lbs scoped. Nice platforms to dissect into something better | |||

Mine has the bbl turned to Ftw contour and cut to 21" and is installed in one of the old McMillian M-70 Ftw stocks.

That seems like a solid hunting set-up. I have purchased a stainless Classic that has that has been re-barreled to a 22" 416 Rem, with a HS Precision stock. It is presently at the gunsmith's for length of pull reduction. Another SS Classic in 375 H&H is also in the shop, being bedded in a McMillan Supergrade dark McWoody with one piece bottom metal, barrel cut to 22" with recessed crown. I am looking forward to getting both of these rifles back. I have another, that I have been debating for years to re-barrel to 340 WBY.

I stuck my Ruger in a Ruger Boat Paddle stock and it was super nice, so nice in fact that a guy talked me out of it before I got to take it hunting, oh well it didn't snow until Christmas, so no need..

I saw a Winchester stainless .375 H&H on sale for a pretty decent price right before Christmas but resisted buying it even though I've been looking for one. It was either presents for my grandkids or......  Even I have my limits sometime.
