I have never used Gene before and never built off a pre-64, but have handled his rifles and felt they were extraordinary.

What are your opinions on Gene and/or opinions on the model 70 pre-64 action.

Thank you for your comments.


If I were you I'd ask Gene about doing a 270 Win paired with the wonderful 9.3x64 Brenneke- it's even better than the 9.3x62.
