The second one is a lightweight 375 H&H done on a winchester 70 classic. In its factory configuration with a hogue overmolded stock it was a heavy SOB. After just one trip moose hunting I knew something had to be done about it. I sent it off to Extreme rifle works, out of Palmer alaska. I told him to make it as light as possible. They turned down the factory barrel contour, trimmed all possible metal from the action and the bolt and then bedded it into an ultra light kevlar stock. Cut the barrel back to 20" and installed a tritium bead front and brockman pop up peep rear. I originall had the 1.5-5 leupold VxIII that is now on my lott but have since replaced it with a ziess 3-9x40 conquest. It is one brutal SOB off the bench but is a joy to carry and is my go to gun whenever travel is involved. I'm going to work up a lot for it with the 270gr TSX for this years hunting season.
