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

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

Here is a 7x57 that was built by Clayton Nelson on a pre-64 model 70 action, with an octagon barrel with integral quarter rib, sling point, and front sight base.

Sako, I think he's asking because he's wanting to paint his stock a dark brown like that. Was that one painted by D'Arcy Echols, Mcmillan, or other??

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.

1. 1954 H&H receiver

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 grin

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.
