The "reshaping" of the pistol grip looks like some of Bubba's finest work. Why anyone would do something like that I'll never understand.

Awfully hard to tell in the small pic, but it looks to me like someone extended the grip. Lay a straightedge across the pic right below the checkering and voila, standard M70 profile. I don't think one can call that re-profiling, rather adding wood.

Yes, there is wood added. Maybe it was done to extend the pistol grip, but I don't know why you'd do that unless it was to repair some damage. Or maybe a previous owner had gigantic hands. Hard to say.

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

Just saw this thread. Funny, most of what I'd say has already been mentioned.
I'm with gunner on the 140 PT's. Great bullet on the .264 WM platform. I love em.. my gun loves em. I also have a pre64 .264 Westerner w/26" barrel.. and both front and rear original sights. . Was also thinking a guy with big paws extended the grip.
Enjoy it.
