Hi guys. Just got my 2 most recent rifles done and figured I would show some pics. If we ever get out of winter, i'll get some range reports up. The stainless is a m70 with a nice looking FW stock in 300 wsm. I clearanced the tang and bedded the recoil lug. The other is an Icon in 308 win. Got high hopes for both in the accuracy department. Both wearing zeiss scopes and warne rings.

I had one in 30 tc that was one of the most accurate guns I ever owned. It would one hole at 100 when I did my part. Sold it because of the odd caliber. Been wanting one back in 308. Happy to get one.

Just a FYI, it's better to bed the tang as well as the recoil lug on the model 70. Ruger m77's not so much. Nice rifles though....

Nice stainless featherweight. That rifle and chambering can do it all in North America. What you going to feed it?

I've got alot of different 30 cal bullets. Probably will start with some 180gn sst's, but might end up with some deep curls. I'll keep going until I find one it likes. I bet it wont take too long.

Just a little backround on the m70, its a classic ultimate shadow fitted to a grade 2ish FW stock. Its a new Haven gun with a 24" barrel. I got this one from one of the fine gents on here. Hope it shoots as good as it looks.
