I really like that one. Good choice on the midnight blue cerakote. I love the brown color stocks with red pad too. Great combo..
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

Brown with slight texture. It sure feels nice in the hands.

Beautiful rifle Sir. I passed on a Clayton Nelson M70 several years ago at a good price and have been kicking myself ever since. That's an awesome rifle you have.

Since it's alright to post plastic stocked Winchesters, I'll post mine now: 1. 1954 H&H receiver 2. Midnight blue cerakote 3. Jewelled bolt body 4. Brown precision pounder stock with red decelerator 5. Holds 4 338 win mag cartridges in the magazine 6. Weight: 7 3/4 pounds all up 7. Gre-Tan stainless barrel Extremely accurate elk stomper, balances perfectly and handles great. I've always liked this 338. This is a good time for anyone who doesn't own a 338 to take a good hard look and convince themselves they need one

first one I sadly no longer own, a 7x57 by Gary Goudy, still the most beautiful stock I've ever seen in person. This one wins in my estimation!

I got this custom stocked pre-64 M70 recently and am enjoying shooting it. It's a 300 Win mag with a 22" barrel and is scoped with a 3-9 Conquest presently. The bullet being used now is the 155 gr Berger VLD. The rifle would be used on deer in the open shot from a stand. While it has shot small groups my present want from a stand rifle is that it will put it's first shot right on, at range, from a cold barrel. Here it is on the bench. I will expand on this post later.

Here is a photo showing the work on the stock. Keep in mind that I got this rather nice 70 for a good price.
