I believe his is a circa 2000-ish rifle. I don’t think Classic Stainlees M70’s were made in the G30K range (IIRC they started in the 40K’s), but I’m often wrong.

I had two different Classic stainless M70 338 WM’s. None shot all that well, but both were good enough for elk. I cut all mine to 22,” and while I tested different weight bullets up to 250 gr’s, I used 210 NP’s on elk. My best shooting 338 was an early Stainless M700 ADL cut to 22”… that rifle shot like a varmint rifle with everything I fed it.



Yep, OE clarified. He is very accomplished with the photo editor. smile

I have one in the G40s but none in the 30s. I think your recollection is correct - until someone here proves us wrong! (Grin)


Only digit I changed on the internet for privacy purposes only was the last digit. Here is a pic of the receiver serial number.

I get it and I routinely do the same; for the same reason. I had looked at the pic and you did such a good job I couldn’t tell!
