with this commentary in hand, i find that i do not understand the dislike some folks have for the mrc ation. i do not know enough to speak intelligently about the two, but the mrc appears by design to incorporate some features not included in the m70.
i have a ss mrc action to be used in my project and john farner, toomanytools, has it. it seems to be a good action from what i can tell. i think it'll go nicely into my echols legend stock. now, if i can get myself to commit to a caliber...

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.
Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.
I miss Jack. I know, I know. I was not one of those left high and dry, but if not for Jack Belk, I would never have owned a Mauser, never built my own gun, certainly wouldn't have learned about stoning and polishing. If you read Jack's albums, there is a wealth of knowledge, something he was always willing to share. I can only hope that whatever demons were nipping at his heels, have decided to leave him be. Peace, Jack...

I miss Jack also. And I was one of the people who was left with and unfinished project(returned missing about $125 in irreplaceable parts).
Truth is, I don't think Jack was dealing with "demons". He was just a really different sort of guy, maybe a bit anti-social...
As I understand his new place is even further away from civilization than his old one.

Not a hell of a lot up there. It's quite remote. Wells is to the south and Twin Falls, Idaho to the north. Lots of very open land on which to shoot up that way...
