I bed the recoil lug and tang for 2 points of contact.. I glass bedded these 2 rifles at the same time... They were both sitting in epoxy when the picture was taken. Notice all the blue tape on the stock.. Ha ha.. Std wt. FWT:

Beautiful rifles guys! Olgrouser, your Supergrade looks great in the B&C stock, good idea to save wear and tear on the purdy wood it came with! And the Fwt is very classy. Sqweeler, an XTR standard in 6.5x55 like that is one of my dream rifles. How do you like it? Just won this in an auction. Its a 270 Win. Never loaded for or hunted a 270 yet. Going to try it as-is, but really tempted to rebarrel in 6.5x55 or 7x57. You guys are killing me with those rifles! Hey that's a mirror image of a .270 I picked up not too long ago!

My push feed .375 H&H on a recent moose hunt when I didn't see squat for moose, but the grouse kept me occupied. No, the .375 didn't account for the grouse. And my pre-war .270 Win.

This is the only one that I own. It's a gay .270, but it's the nicest shooting rifle I own. I bought it from 7X57STEVE before he passed away. Obviously he did some work to the trigger because it's sweet. I think the scope is a Leopold VX3 3.5-10x40.

What's the LOP on the .280? It looks considerably shorter than the rest.
Nice rifles, BTW.

Nice rifles, BTW. Camera angle I think. 13.75 iirc. The others are at 13 7/8 - 14" Thanks Scotty!
