All, thanks for the info...and pics
219DW, I was surprised to see the Rugers. Very Nice!!
EDMHunter, I hadn't thought about having Mark range test the rifle but I will..I'd like to see some pics of your rifle.
Here's what Mark is going to build for me:
Pre war (1940) Mod. 70 action 30-06
Blackburn bottom metal
#2 Krieger barrel 24"
Echols stock (edge) 13 3/4" LOP
Checkered bolt release
Talley bases , made to fit the receiver
3 panel checkered bolt handle
Jeweled bolt
Repin the trigger , if needed, and time the safety
Action blueprinted and slicked up
I've had second thoughts about the Talley rings but it would be handy to have a second backup scope handy.
It's been awhile since I talked to Mark but he said to allow about a year. I'm not sure what his turn around would be now.
Huntr, that metal work and inletting is awesome. How does it shoot? What does your rifle weigh?
