I was thinking of having my M70 classic in 338 win mag converted to 375H&H. I know it can be done without extending the loading port, but I'd rather have it opened up like a real 375H&H.

In fact, I'd like it to be just like a factory magnum. Buying one is not an option, as I'm talking about a stainless left-handed M70, and they're kinda scarce these days.

I was looking for a gunsmith recommendation to perform this work.

BTW, been awhile since I visited this forum. Nice to see it still going strong.

I don't have a smith recommendation for you, but thought I would suggest maybe looking at that new Ruger 375 round, works in standard length action. it would get you around the high cost of having the standard mod 70 opened up. Just a thought.

Mark Penrod is a 70's whiz. Stu Satterlee can also work wonders

Dago,

No thanks, I'm kinda partial to the H&H version. But I do appreciate the thought.

Mortal,

I've heard of Mark, and did some research here on Stu, thanks for the recommendations.

Dennis Olson of Plains Montana does superb work as well.

Mark Penrod His work is top notch.

I'm curious about the .375 Ruger and went to their web site but could find nothing. Is this a wildcat? Thanks...Bill.

Hi: The .375 Ruger isn't out yet...said to be out early 2007.
Best Regards,

Tom
