Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Model 70 XTR for a custom build?

Hi Guys i have a mod 70 XTR magnum action that I'm thinking of using it for my next custom build In 7rem mag. This Action has
cocking piece that has a cover or hood on it, not like the usual winchester 3pos cocking pieces. It is also a push feed action.
Now what do you guys think of using this action for a LRH gun?
And what do you think of that cover on the back of the cocking piece?

Thx
Elmer
