Vote with KeystoneBen because I have one just like his except in 270.But I have other 270's and 30/06's too.

I have been dropping pre 64 M70's into aftermarket synthetic stocks since about 1979-1980 and hunting with them in calibers from 270 to 375H&h and many in between. Some of these have had custom barrels and some factory. From the standpoint of reliability,these rifles made it hard to justify a custom rifle.

But some how I managed that, too. smile

BSA has a picture of my retro custom 7 Rem Mag in wood stock that would qualify if a guy wants to do it with wood/blue.I've had similar rifles in 270 and 280.

Sometimes I think excruciating over cartridges will drive you nuts. I've never come back from a hunt and complained I didn't get what I was after because I had the wrong cartridge.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
