so on temporary hiatus to ft.irwin, due to some obligations to uncle sam, long story short i have plenty of time to dream about home and what i wanna pack when i do make it back. so heres my thoughts, ive used a m70 ewss in 300 wm and a ruger hawkeye alaskan in 375 ruger both with sucess, imo the rugers a better round and the m70 was a better rifle, in fact i really like 375s and leupold vx3i 2.5x8s, id like to get a stainless montana action, stainless 3 contour 24 inch kreiger barrel fluted brown precision kevlar poundr, necg sights sourdough style front, with a vx3i 2.5x8 in talley lw,s 375 wby or rum, with a generous length mag box, intended projectiles would be 250 grain ttsx or gmx, but perferably the 270 grain lrx, or perhaps one of the cutting edge options, if the mag box would tolerate it, metalwork would be done in a dark tungsten gray, with black in the flutes,with stock done in a dark forest green with speckles, hopefully hopefully 8.5 lbs scoped loaded slung ready to hunt.
