Hi Guys i have a mod 70 XTR magnum action that I'm thinking of using it for my next custom build In 7rem mag. This Action has cocking piece that has a cover or hood on it, not like the usual winchester 3pos cocking pieces. It is also a push feed action. Now what do you guys think of using this action for a LRH gun? And what do you think of that cover on the back of the cocking piece?
Thx Elmer

I used a 7mm mag XTR as the basis for a .257 weatherby build. With the right components and optics, yours will make a fine LRH rifle.

These actions are greatly underrated which is terrific in my estimation. Bought my last 7mm Rem in almost mint unfired condition for $350.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Thx Elmer Nothing wrong with those.. I call 'em 'cap-shroud' M70s - these were made from '65 through about '73-4 or so.. As long as your action was a magnum to start with the job should be a piece of cake..
