Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats McMillan on a Pre-64 Winchester 70?

Rob,
This is my Mod 70 pre 64 .270, blue printed, Douglas turned to lighter contour, 1.75X6 Leupold, Weaver 4 screw rings, Redfield flip-up peep, weighs 7 1/8#. on my scale with the walnut stock, and just a little more maybe 1/4# with the McMillan Which I got from Rick, I forget which style it is maybe GH or Super Grade, I had to move the rear screw hole and rework the rear tang area to make it fit, then sent it back to Rick for paint job, and yes it shoots very well with the light barrel .36 inch for 3 shots 130 gr Speer,.563 with 150 gr. NP the last time to the range 3 130 NP & 3 150 gr NP went into .85 inch. thats in the French stock and it shoots even better in the McMillan. I think it's a keeper.

olblue,

That is a beautiful stock, wow. I would love to get my hands on one of those for my pre-64 270.

OlBlue: Beautiful rifle! I've got a piece of California English I'm going to send to the Biesen's to be carved to their pattern this summer, then probably a McSwirly from McMillan for the wet weather months.
