It started out as a m70 CRF 338 win mag. I’m guessing I bought it new about 20 years ago. Never even shot it as I have an old 700KS 338. Anyway had a local ( Memphis tn) smith screw on a 26” fairly stout Douglas barrel and put a set of NEF express sites on it. Factory stock. Never bedded it or anything. Just opened up the barrel channel a bit. I think I did some work on the follower spring and mag box to get it to hold three in the mag. It shoots wonderfully. 300 grr partitions, the old 270 spire point and 300 RN Hornady’s always shot very well. Never tried any x or TTSX but it also shoots the 300FS into small groups too. It’s got Talley mounts and a 1.5-5 Leupold scope. I did put a 1” decelerator pad on it. It is pretty lively when you shoot it.... if I were to do it again I’d probably go 24” on the barrel. It’s a pretty long rifle. But I wanted all the RUM had to offer.
