Sounds like a plan Bob! Are you still actively working with the Mashburn ?
I always enjoy our discourse, we've explored many subtle points over the years. I am the richer for it.
To the OP : good luck with your .280 Fwt M70 quest.
Mine is a '92 NH Fwt Classic, and it has been a real gem.
Over the years I've had others ( Rem 700 Mtn, 725, 700 KS now AId ), but this is the best of the type.
I truly hope that Winchester can deliver enough of them in .280, so that all who would consider purchasing them can do so.
Waiting over a year for a Shot Show special to "arrive" is just painful.
