Curious to hear everyone’s input on this as I’m debating between the two options below in 300 Win Mag. Actions are being chosen because of the CRF.
Option 1:
M70 Action, preferably with the old style trigger.
Something like a Lilja #2 barrel
McMillan Edge Stock
Option 2:
Kimber Montana
The Kimber basically checks all the boxes, even comes threaded with a muzzle break. Only downsides are the trigger is a box housing design and the LOP is a little short (would probably add a spacer or longer pad to fix). I also know that it’s going to be way cheaper than the M70 build route.
Goal is to have a sub 8 pound when scoped 300 win mag for general purpose hunting. Is there any benefit to building a custom on a M70, aside from having something unique and personalized, when the Kimber is, more or less, already that?
