That one is sweet. I think everyone here loves that old rifle... It puts off a good vibe too.

When it's time - I'll post up an ISO post here/classifieds. I got about 23 irons in the fire right now on non-rifle things. This was literally an idea I had over lunch today, thought I'd ask before I forget.

Sorry - I wasn't clear. I'd have the whole thing rust blued, given I'd be building it. IOW - non-stainless rifle.

Post it here, before the classifieds. I know there are some good guys here in this forum. If they say they have a good one, I'd trust them. The problem is getting one to let go of some of them. DF is talking in another thread, about getting rid of some as we progress in age. I only have one that I can think of letting go for this cause. It's a pre 64 30-06 fwt in excellent condition. It could be sold as a barreled action, as it's in a Mcmillan stock right now.

I get that. It's a great idea and the nice thing is if you're not in a hurry, you'll be surprised on what you'll find. Our classifieds here have been awesome to me on WTB.. Careful asking about ISO ads, cause we have some serious M70 hounds around here that'll bury you in awesome stuff.

30-06's are perfect to get rid of.. Good call BSA

We're about to stop being friends posting stuff like that in the open....

Lol - I get it. Thanks guys.

While my dad shoots a Win 70 in 270, it's a NWTF push feed raffle winner. He even shoots old school round nose bullets in it too. Black Shadow I think they called em.

I may be wrong, but thought he was looking for a 30-06? I like mine. It's what I grew up with. I have a std wt 270 that I may offer MGW in the other thread. As, he's never had a pre 64!!!!! The only drawback is it's in a custom stock.. It's scary accurate. Maybe even one of the most accurate model 70's I have, and that is with only a small amount of loading for it. DF is right, if some of these younger guys have an interest, they should be the ones that get dibs on them. Just how I see it..

I was kidding about not anything to like about the 06 so you might as well send it


Dang, that Brownell 270.... Anyone else got the sweats?

Yes, I'd like to kick AK's nut sack up to his chin now!!!! That sure is a beautiful rifle. Looks like a JOC commemorative rifle, but nicer!!!!!

Quite the spread, what's up with the fourth one down.

It is one of the Super Grades with French Walnut. That one is a 6.5 PRC and a peach of a rifle. Everytime I hear someone talk smack about the FN guns, I can't remember much else that has been factory made that is a ton nicer than that rifle.

Yeah, looks pretty sharp from here. I'm sure it shoots as good as it looks.

Definitely not popular opinion, but my local place had a Portugal 308 supergrade in French walnut I would put up against any I have ever seen.

I remember seeing a 6.5 Creed when the French Walnut guns first hit the market and it had some oh my God wood on it and they were around 1500 bucks at that point. One of the ones I wished I snatched off the rack instead of waiting.

Another fella on here has a 7 Rem Mag in French Walnut that is more than amazing as well. I still keep my eyes open for others especially when the ads list the real rifles pictured.

It was pretty decent Ben. Used 129 ABLR's the first year after a quick work up for a buck.



I did a little load work with the 139 Scenar and man, it really woke up.

beretzs sent me a link one time, to a beautiful BACO in a french walnut stock, chambered in 6.5PRC, like the one he has. Some of them are jaw dropping beautiful rifles. I almost got weak enough and bought it. ha ha..
