NHM25WSSM Win M70 Super Shadow
I picked up a Win M70 Super Shadow in 25WSSM for $399.99 used 3 weeks ago (20 rounds fired through it).
2 weeks ago, I painted some windows for my gunsmith�s house (I�m a painting contractor by trade!), in exchange for some smithin� work.
He installed a ported muzzle brake on that "skinny" little barrel! Now I have the sense not to shoot it without ear protection (at least more than once).
He got the trigger pull down to 2.5 pounds.
Burris Fullfiled II 4.5 - 14 x 42mm w/Balllistic Plex scope with Silver Leupold Medium Height Rings.
I am here to tell you, that the rifle has a TOTAL weight of 7 and 1/4 pounds with a sling,scope, and bases.
ONE WORD: UNBELEIVABLE.
Our perception of this rifle�s �recoil", this little rifle kicks less than a 22-250 shooting 55 grainers!
I�m getting around 1.5" - 2" 3 shot groups at 100 yards with the factory 115 gr. BT�s.
I used to reload A LOT for a 25-06 I once had, I have some 85 gr. Nosler BT�s and 100 gr. as well. We�ll see what I can come up with. Also, have some Sierra 75 gr.
Custom Camo Paint job on the stock.
Let�s just say that It now looks like it is in the SHADOWS!!
Here are the pics:

Dale MYou have a real nice rig there. I just looked at one like it at a local gun show and I really liked it. If I didn't have my 257 Ackley, I would have been sorely tempted to take it home. I am a real 1/4 bore fan. Love the way you Camo'ed the stock on yours. Thanks for the pics. Dale
