Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only Winchester Classic Classic Stainless 375 H&H

The FN-made Winchester M70 .375 H&H Alaskan came from factory in 2011-2012 (USA assembled)
with good epoxy bedding of action recoil lug and tang.
Ditto the 2014-2015 version assembled in Portugal from South Carolina parts.
Those are walnut stocks.


Anyway, I think y'all are making a mountain out of a mole hill
when it comes to a little overhang of scope base at rear of action.
Look at how Ross Seyfried did his Remington M700 .416 RemMag and called it professional:





Here is my old M70 Classic .416 RemMag before I re-barreled it to .458 WinMag,
with just a little bit of overhang at rear seen as tolerable,
but no good for front overhang!



Here, I fixed it with a hacksaw:



Overhang at the rear allows for decreased potential for Weatherby Eye Brow,
and I find it no impediment to loading and ejection.

Here are a couple of the old M70 Classic RUM actions with QRW bases for 0.330" hole spacing on the rear/bridge,
drilled bigger for 8x40 screws (404 Jeffery on top, .500/.338 Lapua Magnum Improved below):









Last rifle above has a Connecticut Classic Tupperware stock on a Pre-'64 M70 .30-06 action re-barreled to .458 WinMag,
epoxy bedded as y'all have described above, and it is a bugholer.
Everybody I know hates the hot glue beddings.
Notice that the front base overhang above was not yet corrected by hacksaw, to perfect this one.
