Since it's alright to post plastic stocked Winchesters, I'll post mine now: 1. 1954 H&H receiver 2. Midnight blue cerakote 3. Jewelled bolt body 4. Brown precision pounder stock with red decelerator 5. Holds 4 338 win mag cartridges in the magazine 6. Weight: 7 3/4 pounds all up 7. Gre-Tan stainless barrel Extremely accurate elk stomper, balances perfectly and handles great.
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

I'd really like to try a Brown pounder stock. Looks perfect.
My m70 is sporting a Hunters Edge. Like everything but the comb is a bit low.

Gre-Tan stainless barrel Extremely accurate elk stomper, balances perfectly and handles great. What is the contour and shank on that barrel? 22"? It's a 24" #2 with a 1.25" "exposed" shank. That's one thing about the pounder, it has a long forend as compared to the Mcmillan compact, so it makes the barrel look shorter than it really is. That's why I say if it has a 22" and shorter barrel, the compact looks more fitting. However, the pounder has a higher comb that many like, especially on heavy kickers. The recoil on this 338 is surprisingly tame because this stock really mitigates recoil well. Unlike some of the McMillan edge stocks I've tried on rifles 30-06 and bigger, which perform better with the standard fill stocks IMHO..

What are the specs on your new build. what caliber is the original rifle? Change from 308 to 25-06. Watch feeding. The rails are part of the receiver in the pre 64 action and unique to the cartridge. The longer cartridge will pop off the rails sooner once you swap out the mag box to 30/06 length. I had a 308 action that I turned into a 270. It fed like crap. Didn't like it at all. Maybe yours will be Ok....don't know. Good luck. I did not know that and was contemplating converting my 308 fwt to a std length cartridge. That project got killed as I made the mistake of shooting the donor!

Pat that 270 conversion "worked"....sort of....but it was freaky watching the cartridge pop off the rails a LOT sooner than in a properly tuned pre 64 M70 set up for the cartridge. I learned the hard way not to do that. I made that rifle into junk.

Thanks Bob, useful info to know.I still have a build in mind that ends up with a 270 fwt clone on a pre 64 (assuming I don`t run into a decent fwt that is priced reasonably). I will base it on a 270/06 action though to ensure it feeds like a pre 64 should. That 308 fwt put successive 3 shot groups into less than an inch with very minimal load development and me yanking on the trigger so it will be remaining a 308 with a good synthetic in it`s future.

Very similar to BSA's 338 - here is my 375 H&H Pre'64 H&H action Shilen SS #4 @ 23.5" Brown Precision Stock Talleys and 6x36 LRD Will probably add some irons and Black-T later this year. Balances and points incredibly well, holds 4 down and shucks shells like a dream Weight: 8lbs scoped

This is one that I'm rather fond of, but I've not used it on any game as yet, just range sessions. It features a Danny Pedersen cut rifled barrel and some other metalwork. The stock is by Gary Goudy using a 40 year old stick of English walnut. It's a 9.3x62 and shoots very well.

It came from the estate of along retired California gunmaker well after he passed. A gunmaker friend of mine in Kentucky had access to them and I made a bid on three blanks and got all three of them. Although this one was the most figured of the three, I had all three used in custom stock jobs. This one and one other turned out very well. The third one really looked great, but had an internal flaw that rendered it unusable.
