Hey, there's nothing wrong with the 54's
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

Right John. . One of these days you need to get yourself a pre 64, so you can see what a real rifle is.. [bleep] just to watch rust in alaska no thanks you lower 48 boys just don't know. Stainless all day... I'm not ready to watch a grown man cry from Oregon when his beloved model 70 is a pile of rust That would suck!!! Hey J, how do the classic stainless rifles hold up in AK? I'm hanging on to my stainless 7mm rem mag just for chitty weather hunting. That rifle is a damn tack driver too.

I can leave my stainless model 70 in a gun boot overnight in the rain and be gtg now daughters rifle I have to remember to bring it in at night cause it's blued vanguard. My plan is to give her the stainless model 70 in the 270wsm. I forgot it one night my daughter gun uh oh bad move but got it cleaned up. Blued model 70 will be fine you just have to remember bring it in at night that's all. I just can't bring myself to buy a nice pre 64 and screw it up cause I forgot it in gunboot overnight.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Thank you WP. Appreciate it. It's going on my most prized rifle and my main battle rifle, my M70 Alaskan. The wood stock is pretty well cracked up, so a McMillan is taking it's place. While not as nice as the wood stock, it'll take the beating elk hunting seems to dish out to my long guns. I did keep the red pad though..

Red pad looks good, I understand making setting them up for hunting, that is what these old gals were built to do! The syn. stock goes a long way.. very best and let us see the gun when you get done WinPoor

Scotty. I like your stock. Remember to use plenty of release agent. I mean a nice thin coat on everything that's not getting glued down. If you noticed, I use the johnsons paste wax on the outside of the stock so epoxy doesn't stick to it. However, if you do this, don't put any in the checkering. It's a biotch to get out of there!! That's a trick my smith told me about and it's much easier than messing with masking tape. Tape the barrel for your freefloat clearance. If I remember correctly, your rifle likes to be freefloated with the forend screw out. Good luck with it my friend.

My favorite scope is a 4.5 X 14 , 40 AO with Leupolds varmint reticule. very best WinPoor Thanks winpoor. I'll have to try one of those Leupold 4.5-14x40 w/ao scopes. I've eyeballed them a few times. I've had excellent luck with the Burris FFII 3-9x40 scopes and have gotten used to using them in the field. I'm kind of disappointed that this 4.5-14 doesn't track for chit. It's a new scope that I've had for about a year now, but it just didn't get used. I'll pull this thing and maybe put a good FFII 3-9x40 with ballistic plex reticle on it and take a good look at the Leupold 4.5-14x40 W/AO next weekend when I go to Cabela's...

[quote=pre6422hornet]Looking great BSA! Awesome Job! A+++++
Can't wait to get this move to New Mexico done so I can set up my shop again. A guy needs a shop for sure. I look forward to seeing your rifle when it is done. If it turns out like your last one, it will be top notch. Thanks for the comments.. [/quote Yep. We are in the process of moving from Kansas City to New Mexico so all my projects are on the back burner until we get moved. Moving 50+ firearms 14 hours is not an easy thing to do. Good thing I have done it now 3 times so I have a good packing system

Nothing yet. Had to replace my clutch in my pickup this weekend. I've got power bedding studs and Marine Tex on order. I should get my stuff by next weekend and hopefully get the stock bedded. Can't wait.

I'm waiting on my Marine Tex from Brownells so I'm hoping it how's up by the weekend. I'm heading back to Camp Lejeune tomorrow so I'll be back to Va on Friday. Should be able to get it bedded up Friday or Saturday. Very excited to see how it looks when it's all done. BSA has given me some great ideas too. Can't wait to implement them.

Scotty, I like that stock much better than the plain grey one your buddy lent you to try on your 338. Keep us posted on how your bedding job turns out and remember if you need any help, pm me. I'm pretty easy to reach

Might just be the pics but, it doesn't look like the stock is original to that gun. Appears to have the newer, smaller checkering pattern.... Hopefully its just the bad pics, if not I will bed the hell out of it! Received my 375 H&H today and It looks like I wont be bedding her. I'm confident after taking her apart that she hasn't been apart since she was assembled. I'd conservatively call her a 95% rifle, and the stock isn't cracked anywhere either!
