I found this Supergrade stock on ebay dirt cheap and had to buy it. Fully inletted complete with crossbolt and swivel studs. Going to get it checkered soon. 7mm WSM I can't wait for opening day of rifle season. This rifle will be with me. 300 WSM Put an Edge on this 270 Win. Pre-64 264 Win Mag. I hate shooting this rifle. Shoots great but kicks like a Clydesdale. It is by far the hardest recoiling rifle I own. A couple more just for kicks.

Beauties, thanks for sharing...
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

Yes, I just bought one exactly like it in the past couple of months. I had missed an LH stainless one on Gunbroker almost a year earlier at a good price with Zeiss scope and extra custom-painted camp factory stock. The buyer did not want the camo stock, so when that came up again I bought it and have been holding it for a 338 70 to appear. I was outbid a couple of times but finally landed a stainless one at a fair price. Maybe that was a stupid plan but it worked out for me. Norm They made them in a LH model for a year or two. 338WM came in a nice walnut stock, got restocked in a McMillan

Pre-64 264 Win Mag. I hate shooting this rifle. Shoots great but kicks like a Clydesdale. It is by far the hardest recoiling rifle I own. What's the barrel length on it?

If you don't like the recoil of that .264, try a low comb, steel butt in .300 H&H off the bench sometime...

Another Griffin and Howe 20" Carbine, with a barrel date of 1936, cal. 30 Gov't 06. Old Weaver K-2.5 still gets the job done. Stocked by Al Biesen. It loves anything from 110 to 180 gr. The Mule Deer on the left was shot with this gun. One shot @ 425 yds, and then a follow up @ 400 yds. The bullets formed a 2.5" group smack dab in middle of the lungs (150gr Sierra @ 2750 fps). The Rifleman's Rifle This one was my Uncles, then my Dad's, and now mine for the last 20 or so years.

Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

They are designed to be fielded and hunted. Kill Bambi's daddy? As a matter of fact I did this year.

I have one to show off now. 1957 Model 70 Featherweight in 270 Winchester
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H
