With already having a couple nice wood stocked pre 64 M70 .270 fwts. I thought I'd use a spare action to build one in a synthetic stock. Started with a mid 50's M70 fwt. action, found a krieger fwt contour barrel on their site and then ordered up a mcm compact edge (olive/black speckle) a williams 1pcs. BM unit and talley barrel band. Redneck did the barrel/chamber/trigger work (barrel @23"), I mounted the barrel band, then sent off the barreled action/BM to Eddie for cerakote titanium and got it back just in time for me to bed the stock, mount a swaro Z3 3-9x42 (w/4A) in some talley 1pcs. As expected it's grouping very well with my normal load of H4831/130 TTSX's. As shown it weighs 7 lbs 11 oz. and is a joy to handle. ![[Linked Image]](http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p116/handwerk/P1010188_zps6i3kmwiq.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p116/handwerk/P1010146%203_zpszena31gu.jpg)

Well done. That may be the perfect big game rifle?
I love it.

One of these years after our deer hunt, I'm going to come home with more rifles than when I showed.

Beautiful rifle. Sure enough done right. Can't get much better than that..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

A thoroughly modern pre-64. Perfect.
I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know.

handwerk,
Very nice build! That is a great 'do everything' rifle.

Nice rifle Randy! My pet rifle is very similar to that.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
