since we are doing Pre'64 pics here are a couple of mine...
1960 action rebarreled to 308 Norma with a 24" Shilen Match tube turned to a Douglas contour....575" at the muzzle. McMillan standard fill Classic Supergrade pattern handle...8.5lbs with 3.5-10X Leupy.
I just spoke with the builder of this one a couple days ago and I'm sending him a 1949 270 and a Hunter's Edge....it'll get the barrel turned to match the barrel chanell which is a #2 Shilen, shortened to 23"(maybe), bedded and reblued. Should be a nice one.
Here are a couple pics of my 1959 fwt 30-06,...it'll stay the way it is for now. It's exactly 8lbs with 2.5-8X Leupy.
