Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Well, I thought I was done with WSM's. M70 Classic find.

I had just sold off my last M70 classic stainless in 300wsm along with dies and ammo, and what do you know I brought another one home. This time a New Haven/Olin M70 Classic laminate in 300wsm. My LGS had it on the trade-in rack for $399 with a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x50. They knocked off tax and I walked out with it for $400 even. The rifle is in great condition, but looked like it had never been cleaned. Man was it dirty. I completed a full tear-down and gave her some proper attention. I've already sold the Nikon and ditched the 2pc base. I put a couple coats of Howard's on the stock and touched up a few areas with cold blue and now it looks pretty dang good!

I'm thinking of putting a Warne 20moa Mountain Tec rail, 30mm rings, and a SWFA 12x42 MRAD and see how she likes some heavy Bergers. Weight is right at 8lb with no scope, and I think this is a 1:10 barrel.
