Some super looking rifles here!

Here's how mine looks now, weather proofed and ready to go!

And the dang thing wants to shoot! This was prone off a bipod with a rear-bag, but I never carry a pod hunting, or a rear bag for that matter... grin

Good shootin Tanner!


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Just picked this one up today. Savage Alaskan Guide. Added Leupy QD rings and a 1.5-5 VX3. Might replace the pad on the back with somthing with a tad more cushion. Boy this thing is light and handles well. I know it aint no winchester, but its pretty smooth to me.

Nice shooting indeed. My guess is you won't be leaving it at home.

Nice shooting Tanner and no reason to leave that bad boy at home. It's equally at home for either yotes or elks.

Very nicely done young 'un!!! How'd it feel to 'ride the lighting' when you touched off that first round? grin

Dang, I'm gonna have to get mine out this weekend and give it a go.

It's not much of a ride, I've been beat up a lot worse! I just wear a thin Outfitters fleece pullover, throw the rig down and start booming away. It's possibly my new favorite! grin

A few years back I wanted a Lefty Model 70 in 375 H&H and altho Winchester listed them nobody had them so I went custom.
Built by Bob West of Eugene Oregon.
left handed Model 70 with Biesen bottom metal.
23 inch Lilja barrel
Pretty simple Walnut Classic stock with decelerator pad
Leupold 3X9 that I put on it for load development and it stayed on.
Goes a little over 9 Pounds.

Have not had a chance to shoot it yet. Been on call all week. Hope to touch it off saturday. It is a great feeling rig though. I'm impressed. I know its gonna pack a punch though. It weighs alot less than my 06 hawkeye.

It's kind of embarrassing; it shoots even better than my very accurate .220 Swift.
