Brass and dies are relatively easy to find. Reloading the 300 H&H is a breeze.

I put it on layaway and will post pics when I pick it up. Good on ya! I pop into my favorite LGS, and a pawn shop or three, a couple times a week. Never can tell what you might find that you can't live without. I keep a couple lay-aways going at all times. Acts like a forced savings plan. Instead of buying that coke or $7.00 fast food lunch, I'll keep in mind that the faster it is paid for the soon it will be mine to fondle. What's the old saying, "Inch by Inch, its a cinch". JAFO, GWB I called my LGS yesterday and asked if there was anything "new and exciting" well,there is,a Interarms Mark X Mini-Mauser in .223 Rem. Going to go look at it this morning and drool over it.

Yep, Usually 20% down till they get to know ya and know that you're good for your word, then what-ever down. Take care of the indians rather than the chiefs, let 'em know what ya' like and they will call you and put the item back till you show up. Works like charm. Good luck today. JAFO, GWB

You, sir, are "mistaken" in your belief that the sun rises and sets in your arsehole. Hint-- get a life!

I'm "mistaken" in nothing...mainly because I'm afforded the luxury,of not being forced to guess.

You are at the mercy of your means,abilities and comprehension...which are poignantly reflected in "all" their glorious "splendor",due your "knowledge","experience" and "results".
Congratulations?
Drool on..................

JAFO, GWB Yup,they called me a couple for a Pre '64 M 70 .375 H&H and this Pre '64 Featherweight .30-06. When they called on the Featherweight I passed on it. But,a month later I had it on layaway. The clincher was picking it up and shouldering it. The .375 H&H I passed on it as it was a little to much money.

I had an absolutely perfect pre-64 model 70 in 300 H&H, it is one of the few rifles I truly regret selling. Unfortunately someone offered me so much for it that I sold it, as usual the money is now gone and so is the rifle.
Of the magnums I have owned the 300 H&H was the easiest to shoot of all of them. Disregard the naysayer and enjoy yours, you will find that they are a great rifle.

Nice M70 there elkhunternm.
When one came with a pad I took it as the original hard plate hurts.
Too bad the old big stick is back. He adds little but profanity.

Dumb Don,
Did you yet again "forget",about Imaginary Pretend Ignore? I'm "surprised".
Laughing!.................

I believe the saying to be: "Turds don't polish".
Hint.............. Which in reply, if someone were of such mind, they could point out, that with most of your rejoinders these days, you seem to be polishing your rep for being such. JAFO GWB LOL!

The H&H is the schittiest of the Big 30's on the belted hull. It has the greatest length,for the least capacity...which is always a piss poor trade,due to COAL.
Stock design is horrid and they are heavy,but they do make some racket which cheers some folks up..............

Never having had a need for (nor will I ever) a bone crushing big fat magnum cartridge, I will admit to a secret hankering for a .300 H&H M70. Congrats to the OP on acquiring his- no matter how he had to do it, it's his business not ours.
Model 70s just have that certain "something" that defines what a classic rifle should be. Granted, they have their faults and don't possess the fine characteristics of today's state-of-the-art rifles, but they do have the ability to call up a different time period when artistry and aesthetics meant something in an ever increasingly "modern" world. They, along with the likes of pre-war custom Springfields, pre-1960 Savage lever guns, classic single shots, etc. are miniature time machines ready/willing/able to transport us back to a simpler time. High tech precision surely has its place and is fascinating in its own right, but at some point one must ask just how much precision/accuracy do I really need to enjoy my hobby.

What they have is heavy concession,coupled with a heavy price tag and the culmination bears little fruit.
A "high tech" rifle is still an amazingly simplistic device...which is a constant that flies over many pointy heads. I find it fascinating,that one could concoct such a amazingly STUPID ruse,which factored "too much" precision/accuracy.
It is a simplistic fact,that one can yield greater rugged reliability for less jingle and in a vastly superior handling/balancing parcel,that also happens to shoot softer.
Those who "do" the least,Whine the most and are the fastest to make STUPID "decisions".

Big Stick,
Please try to improve your language. Your just adding insults and profanity to the sport we all like.
You know stuff about guns, hunting and take good pics.
Thank you.

Dumb Don,
I'll feign my "surprise",that despite the grandiose fanfare of your "dreaded" Imaginary Pretend Ignore...that you lie out your clueless ass to boot. Congratulations?
Rest assured,few folks could begin to compromise integrity,in the manner you can,by Pretending you don't. Hint.
You are always going to be best served,by setting in the corner sucking your thumb,while doing your best not to schit your pants.
GREAT time to start taking notes and applying same.
