Classic Super Grade .338 Win Mag

Very nice....love your stainless collection.

Awesome rifles man!!!! I'm not going to show a pic of my new classic stainless 7WSM, it is plane jane compared to those beauties... It looks like it shoots pretty good though.. Bobin warned me not to get a late classic, but I didn't listen like a good boy... I know why he used to say some of them really needed some work. This one is a great rifle now, after a little fine tuning:

1. Glass bed the action.
2. Freefloated the barrel.
3. Got the scope mounts sorted out. Scope is in line with the axis of the barrel now!!!!!
4. Radiused and polished the bottom of the follower. Also had to relieve a little of the side of the follower to make the loading flawless. It hung up when I first got it. Now she works like a damn champ.
5. Replaced the hard as hell recoil pad and put a pre-fit decelerator on it..
6. Trigger was HORRENDOUS when I first got it. Stoned, polished, and lighter spring, now it's at 2 7/8 pounds.
7. Replaced the FUNKY fugly phillips head action screws with allen head screws. Damn, what was Winchester thinking?????

The guys at my club said, "if it doesn't shoot good, how much will you want for it"... My buddy spotted for me, after getting the scope dialed in, and the first 5 shots went into less than an inch and I said this fu cker isn't for sale.... . According to him, the last 3 shots went into the same hole... Good enough for me..

My 21 year old's first rifle. He's not taken a deer yet since he's been figuring out what to do for a living (Now a HVAC Technician)
I was going to buy this for myself since it''s my birth year (1960) but I let him have first whack at it.
It is in 30-06 caliber.

Can I post photos of my Winchester 54's since they are the grandfather of the Model 70?

Guys, these just showed up at the shop... which means they are mine until I sell them

They came out of a NJ estate and two of them appear unfired. They are going to command a collector-grade premium, but I know many of you collect rifles of this quality. If you are interested, shoot me a PM.

She's a shooter too:




I've had a lot of fun with this ol girl in all kinds of weather:

BSA, thats a helluva good group and nice, close standard dev.

Thanks buddy.

Damm..... that is one accurate .338 , gotta pack a hellava punch with 225 gr at that fps.

Zeiss Conquest on top?
Bob

I like the way you roll.

Running 210 Swift’s this fall. Mine has been in the field a bunch with different stocks but I kinda like this one the most of any of them.

I like that fwt!

FYI, the 1931 WIn M54 is for sale in the free classified ads here. $500.

Wow you totally missed the bullseye!
Just kidding, nice group!

The first time my youngest son (then age 16) shot my Springfield Trapdoor he grouped his first 3 shots within 1/2" MOA at 100 yards. He said sucked because they were not bullseyes. LOL!

I think you and I would get along very well Scotty.... Next time you are around here, look me up buddy...

In this picture, it's wearing the cheaper Terra. I took the Swarovski off due to tracking problems. It's wearing a Zeiss conquest 3.5-10x44 now (not pictured)... I really like the glass on this one. My only complaint is the elevation turret is bass ackwards....

A pre 64 270 fwt I picked up several months ago. (having trouble figuring out how to display the pic!) Initial range testing is showing very good accuracy with some basic 130 interlock handloads.
