bought a model 70 Fwt in .308 here some time ago, which was a good shooter with 130gr TTSX's.

i had decided last year i was going to upgrade the stock, when yet another model 70 hit the classifieds here...it was a 22/250 in a McMillan lightweight stock....so i grabbed it too.

The McMillan got some cleanup and i painted it; it went onto the .308.

Since i had another rifle going for a cerkote job, i had this .308 done also....color is Tungsten.

One of the other 'fire members here had a 2x7 leupold and we did some kind of trading..dont remember what...so i had the 2x7 sitting as a spare. SoutharkRob, this is where your glass ended up...

havent shot it yet since putting it all back together, weather permitting will probably go out weekend after next.

Great looking rig.

The fun part is over now so maybe you should ship it down here to Texas so you can start a new project. smile

Cerakote has opened a completely new dimension when coloring the metal to look good w/the stock. While I'm still a black rifle kinda guy...the grey looks good. powdr

Great job Gerald! Love the Krylon webbing. Wish they'd come out with more colors.
