Do black rifles count???? Custom stocked 375H&H. I have the original stock tucked away in the safe.

Have Gunner500 permission to post the pics he sent me. A .300 H&H (left) and a .22 Hornet Pre '64 Super Grades. A .270 Win Pre '64 Super Grade. All I will say is WOW! The .300 H&H and the .270 are real lookers.

OOPS, I may have told ya wrong, the 270 is a standard rifle that got the original stock ran over by the previous owners son's pick-up, seems junior leaned it against the rear tire and drove over it. Happily Dad had a very nice English walnut stock made for it. Many Thanks for posting the pics of a few of my all-time favorite hunting rifles Ken.

Lots of eye candy on this thread, but I would like to ask an honest question as I'm a hunter and not a collector. Does a decelerator recoil pad effect the collector price, if so by how much?
Is it fun shooting a .270 or 30-06 with a steel butt plate?

Good questions StrayDog. Adding a pachmayr recoil pad will greatly effect the collector value of a pre 64 model 70. Just how much of a reduction in value depends on the model. To answer your next question honestly. NO, it is not fun shooting a 270 or 30-06 with a steel butt plate off the bench, but you won't notice it when you are hunting. Seeing how you are a "hunter", you should be fine with a steel butt plate rifle . I'm also a hunter, but I do a lot of shooting from the bench so a pachmayr makes damn good sense. Especially on a standard rifle like a 270 or 30-06.
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

Beautiful rifle buddy!! How do you like the montecarlo pattern swirly? Is it pretty slick feeling? Some guys say they like the texture painted stocks better because they offer more grip, especially in adverse conditions. I've been contemplating a swirly for my 375.

You probably wouldn't notice it while hunting but for target practice I agree with BSA and prefer a recoil pad. PS, sharp looking rifle!!! Eric

Is it fun shooting a .270 or 30-06 with a steel butt plate? As BSA stated, yes it will kill the gun, 270's and '06's dont recoil hard to me, they do however recoil fast, some may mistake quickness as painful.

I like gunner's rifles. I want to live at his house when I grow up.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
