It's been a great elk killer for me, based on a pre 64 M70 action/lilja/legend stock....180 TTSX's @3050 seem to work quite well..

The plan for the one in the gunsafe,is to re-stock it in a good piece of english walnut.

Yes...superbly accurate for a factory rifle... It worked on caribou too, on this trip years ago..... Also killed my last elk with it... Nice 'bou and elk you killed with the .300 H&H. Had a Push-feed M 70 in .300 H&H. Then I traded it for something else. Should've kept it. Now I'm uber confused .... I thought pf M70's were the biggest load of crap made ever?? Nevermind Charlie Sisk uses/d them as a basis for his customs ..... Happy Days

Found a Rem 700 with a 26" Lilja sporter chambered in 300H&H.
Would you leave the barrel at 26", or chop it to 22" or 24"?
Sounds fantastic. One nice thing about the 700 is the action is long enuff for the H H w/o crowding the COAL. 26 or 24 is personal preference IMO. I wouldn't want 22. Congrats and Good Hunting.

If your heart is set on being identical to your STW, cut it to whatever the STW barrel length is. Otherwise leave it if it balances, cut it if it's muzzle heavy, or leave it alone if it's close enough.
If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

This one shoots Nosler Trophy Grade 180 Accubonds into one hole pretty consistently. It may be my most accurate rifle. I need to take it hunting.

Nope...I sold it when I quit hunting elk...the one in the pic above is my last one. Not hunting anything these days that requires that big of a gun....thankfully I got all that out of my system...
