Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Show Me Pics of Your Stainless Big Bore Rifle

I've always wanted a SS big bore, and two weeks ago I picked up an unfired M70 Classic in .375.

Trashed the plastic stock and bought a new McMillan (they actually had it in inventory.)

Called Sunny Hill and ordered their drop-box bottom metal in SS.

The bolt body and the inside of the action have both been stoned and polished. It's about 1000% smoother now than when it was new (lots of rough tooling marks in there from the factory.

Stock is now bedded (still need to clean off some of the leftover Devcon), and it is now ready for load development.

After I figure out what it likes this weekend, the metal will all be polished and sent out for bead-blast while the stock goes back to McMillan for paint (I wanted green instead of black.)

Here are some ugly WIP pics, but I promise it'll look a whole lot better in a couple of weeks.
