Thanks, Wapiti. I think it came together well. It's actually heading back home to AK, where it belongs. Eric You selling it and keeping the Brno? That's a real nice rifle buddy..I want to go and shoot my 375 this weekend!!
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

That's right, BSA. I'd like to keep them both but I have a NULA to fund. It's a dangerous cycle!!! lol.

Well atleast it shoots the el-cheapo win power points good It's good when you have two rifles chambered for the same cartridge shoot the same load equally well ...: Pre 64 model 70 30-06 fwt: I'll bet you, my old rifle that you have now would shoot this load just as well too (maybe even better)...

BSA, lookin' good and that GREEN MACHINE is a bold statement! I like it. Nice shooting as well.
What scopes are you using for both?

Eric Hi Eric, I'm running a Leupy VX3 3.5-10x40 W/CDS on the green stocked '06 and a cheap ol Nikon buckmaster 3-9x40 on the fwt . I figure as long as it's shooting like that, I'm not changing a thing

BSA - Thanks! They match well with your rifles, and I agree - I wouldn't change a thing if they're shooting like that! I'll be running a VX3 3.5-10x40 w/ CDS on my NULA.

Nice to see that grade of wood on a factory rifle. Im thinking so many guns are done in synthetic stocks now a days that there is plenty of great black walnut to be had ! Im a die hard Winchester blue and wood guy but both my truck guns have plastic stocks, when I know a hunt might be wet I grab a win coyote lite and go, take it apart and wipe it off and good as new..
