That's nice. Looks like a classic trying its best to imitate a pre 64. I'll bet it shoots damn well too.. I do love the brown and red combo on the stock. One of my favorite color schemes..
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

That's a beauty. I like the fact they give you the option for a left cheek piece....

Hard to go wrong with something like that.

Two hydrodipped Legends. I explained to the dipping guy how the grain should run up through the grip--I thought he did a pretty good job. A .338 Win that I carried to Africa. This is a 375 H&H that went down the road for being too heavy. I retrospect, I wish I had not dipped them. The film fills in the checkering too much.

Three that I used to own. I made the move to lighter rifles. The 7 Mashburn to a 7 pound all-up 280, and the 358 to a 7 1/2 pound 9.3X62. And the 6mm to a lighter 6mm! L-R: 6mm Rem, 7 Mashburn Super, 358 Norma. The 6mm Rem is a 1947 M70 transition action. Blackburn bottom metal, Brux #3 SS 8-twist 24" barrel, Legend Edge stock. The metal is Gunkoted to resemble a matte blue finish. A 3.5-10X40 matte CDS in low DDs. With the #3 barrel it weighs 8 pounds 11 oz. The Mashburn is a virtual copy of BobinNH's baby. M70 Classic action with Wisner extractor and Williams bottom metal. Pre-64 trigger, follower and mag spring. Custom bolt handle. Krieger #2 9-twist 24" barrel, Legend Edge stock. A 3.5-10X40 matte B&C in low DDs. It weighs 8 pounds 5 oz. The 358 Norma is a M70 Classic Stainless action with Williams extractor. Slimmed bottom metal, pre-64 follower and mag spring. Pac-Nor 12 twist barrel. Legend standard fill stock. It used to be a 24" barrel, I had it shortened to 22 1/2". Lost about 50 fps, but it feels better in the thick stuff. A 1.75-6X32 with Premier Reticles #4 reticle. 8 pounds 7 oz.
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!

Kaleb--
I thought it was cool, as well. But I didn't want anybody duplicating them without having shared the downside of globbing up the checkering.

I had Gene Simillion build me a .338 Win Mag with a Winchester Model 70 Stainless Classic in an Echols Legend stock. Brown w/black flecks and red pad on the stock. Black cerokoat on all metal. Williams bottom metal and all the stuff Gene does to a Model 70 including a four round magazine capacity. Leupold VX-6 2-12x in Gene's mounts.
Gene e-mailed me last night that he would have it at his booth in Vegas for SCI, I'm not going so maybe someone could get a picture and post it.
