Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

I called Richard Near of Near Manufacturing on the Summer Solstice.
He had what I needed on the shelf.
His Picatinny rails, 20-MOA, stainless steel, nitride black finish,
for an M70 Classic WSM actioned .458 B&M+
and an M98 FN/Parker Hale commercial Mauser .458 WinMag.

For anybody doing Creedmost Match Rifle weight calculations,
those weigh about 4 ounces, for a M70 Classic long action.
I will try to get weights on all three rails when in possession.
They have an integral recoil stop on bottom of rail, super duty.

More trivia:
I weighed a set of two Burris Xtreme Tactical rings, one-inch LOW rings.
They each registered 991.6 grains on a digital scale capable of 1500 grains.
Precise Chinese manufacture, eh ?
Anyway, a set of two of them weighs 4.533 ounces, call it 4-1/2 ounces.
30mm LOW pair of same make = 4.8 ounces.

Recall that a set of LOW Ruger rings (3&4) for M77 = 4.3 ounces
A set of LOW Ruger rings for the No. 1 (3&3) = 4.1 ounces

A 9-pound Ruger No.1 with a 9.6-ounce 1.5-4x20mm Leupold and 4.1 ounces of rings = 9 lbs 13.7 oz.
Creedmost Match worthy and then some.
