When converting a M70 Classic, currently chambered in 300 Win mag, to a 416 Taylor will I run into any significant action reworking for feeding, etc? I am trying to understand what the budget will need to be for this project.

Thanks in advance.

I am not the guy to say as I have little knowlege in this area, but, my 416 Taylor was a 300 Win Mag (Browning BBR) and according to my 'smitty, it didn't take much effort to make it feed well (it even feed FN solids really well). The Winny doesn't have a lot of taper to it, and its otherwise the same case, so "in theory" I don't think this is likely to cause big problems.

But I defer to anyone that has actual experience with your situation.

Cheers,
Canuck

call them, tell them what you want, and they will give you a package price

Canuck,

people with experience in scotts's situation are called orderlies or guards.

jeffeosso,

Thanks for the comments, but I really don't like shipping firearms if I can at all avoid it. Pacnor would definitely require shipping.

I was thinking of letting Gander Mountain do the work, what do you think?

Should I get a screw on muzzle brake installed just in case?

The Taylor will feed fine with no mods, and no you don't need a brake for the Taylor. Its a pussy cat.

OK. I'll admit that one made me chuckle.

As far as feeding the trolls goes, I guess if I have something constructive to offer, I will. The infos available for anyone that chooses to read it. I don't see any upside in the continuing personal battle....nothing's changed in about 5 years (or more)...

Just so we are clear, are you calling me a "co-dependent moron" (since that is who HogKiller was adressing), or ScottS (who HogKiller was posting about)?

Canuck

Idahosharpshooter,

You seem to be my greatest enabler on this thread. After all you have posted the most times.

I really do not understand why people post off topic (personal attacks in this case). If they have nothing positive or constructive to say why say anything at all?

chris, you are right, about 5 years!! LOL

scott,

Anyway, pac-nor is about $600, ITD will be about the same, both with bluing and sights...


So, you have your advice and price. Please don't post again until you have pictures of the rifle

your reluctance of shipping a firearm is HUGE question mark.... it raises many flags. . mostly that you are being disingenious, as only a fake or a criminal is concerned about legally shipping firearms.

afterall, you had to ship "your" 416 rsm to be rebored.. and "your" 500 AHR was shipped...

the cost will be the same for a local smith, if he has to buy the reamer\

personal attacks and off topic posts? you are a master at them, I guess you don't like perceived competition

Here's a funny link, on the whole thing, to put it in perspective

LOL

axel, 500AHR, scotts, ted, posuer, assclown, judy, and about 10 other IDS are all the same person...

and in this thread, 500AHR states that Axel doesn't own a a500AHR...

Jeffeosso,

This post is for your' and Rob's benefit alone.

I don't own any big bores, and I really don't think I could handle that 416 Taylor. That is why I won't be shipping anything to Pac-nor. I guess I am just jealous of you guys because you are both real mean who can shoot the big bores, and I am just a pathetic wimp/loser because I cannot.

You remember of course my one attempt at big bore shooting, the 50 Beowulf. I had to sell it because I simply could not handle it's substantial recoil, OUCH!

Do you feel better now?

I do have QuickLoad though, and Load from a Disk.

Now I suppose George will lock this thread up.

PS - I am not Axel, and I never was.

ScottS: I really don't understand why you do that...it sure doesn't help.

IS (Since you are still "new"), RGB and Jeffe (who have been through this and heard my take on it MANY times over the MANY years this has gone on): Don't mistake any of my posts as support of ScottS or his behaviour. This is and has always been a situation where I support neither his activities (trolling), or yours (as troll police). My interest is, as it always has been, in the site. Period. The witch-hunt hasn't worked, and it never will. Banning doesn't change a thing...remember the multiple identities?? Has banning kept anyone else away (Carmelo, Cats, Mike375, Westpac, etc etc)??

IS: If you don't believe me, do a search on ToddE, 500AHR, POSeur, AssClown, Sniperfromthegrassyknoll, Judy, etc... You'll see my longstanding position on this.

Jeffe & Rob: I have clarified this a number of times, but I will bring it up again....you guys are mixing up "trolls".... ScottS is not Axel. You were dealing with multiple identities when you thought it was one. I don't have independent verification (I don't know either of them) but I am sure they are different guys.

Check out this thread and my posts, from 2003, to refresh your memories...

Thanks Chris...
i should know better... i don't know why i don't act better...

i think i'll just put him on ignore and leave him there

jeffe

Canuck- Basically, the situation remains the same ever since he was ToddE.If Scotts's lips are moving he's lying. With repect to Axel if it wasn't Scott they were related entities working together with the same demented purposes. We have known that for years.
My issue with ScottS is that I actually fear that the moron in reality actually owns firearms and given his instability will someday emerge as a another TV documentary following some atrocity following a "meltdown". That may negatively effect me as I am a real firearms enthusiast and like being able to own guns in MY USA! This is one sick puppy we are dealing with and how you choose to deal with him does not matter a bit to me. I have simply studied its behaviour patterns and at the appropriate moment reveal its plans so that new members here are reminded of what we are dealing with and not fooled. I agree banning doesn't work. It is too bad that such a valuable site as this one is allowed to be manipulated by such "clowns". With that said it is the internet and we are the society that breeds these fools. -Rob

Canuck,

the fact that you have to ask worries me just a teensy-weensy bit.

scotts,

Canuck- Chris your a good guy and I have always liked you. One piece of advice, don't try and polish this turd (scotts)!-Rob

Canuck & RGB,

are you two enabling again?

Rich, Rob - I have learned to respect you and have no problem seeing this ass have been a clown over the years.

But kids grow up.

Like with a dog, one have to applaude correct behaviour to make it work.

As long as he asks normal questions and behaves, will not positive answers maybe educate this person?

That you, after so many years of crap will not do it, is understandable, but I also understand and respect Canuck for dealing with him in a serious manner as long as he behaves.

Bent,

the issue is not the initial post(s)...it's where they lead.

Like this last series: was looking for advice on options building a 416 Taylor. Wood or synthetic, what type of sights, barrel contour and length, etc. So, some people take it serious, like this is really going to happen.
Two or three days worth and a thread six pages long, and he announces that recoil bothers him, and that he will probably NEVER take step one. He's also never had any sort of DGR.

It's just a game to see how many different people he can get to buy in before he bails out wit some sort of lame excuse.

Do you play poker? This is like playing poker for chips and no money involved. It's a waste of time and everybody ends up crabby over the deal because nobody takes it seriously.

There just are never any consequences...

Ever wrestle with a pig? After an hour you're worn out, and then you realize the pig enjoys it! The attention!

Bent- Watch how this plays out! It's just replay 4 of the same old game. Sooner or later you'll get to see the real ScottS. Now it is possible he is the "alter ego" of another board member here. I can't tell for sure, but I have done some "writing style" word match, exercises that make me believe this is a distinct possibility. The internet enables people to become what they are not in real life. However, ScottS has been consistently a moron ever since his behaviour was first criticized as ToddE many years ago. We have had a fair number of such Trolls over the years and a fair number of "heated debates" all in all though we get along and I think have gotten a whole lot of people who otherwise would be scared off into shooting big bore rifles. I for one reject the idea that ScottS will change and I continue to find him pathetic.-Rob
