I am pretty dulled by all the tactical and long range chat these days. It takes little talent to use a lead sled, imo Savage 99's, Win 95 & 94's, Browning BLR's always get a second look. I have a few Jack handles as well( syn/ stainless) but I use a takedown BLR for my hunting these days. One of three gets the pick. Just my way

My last two customs were for older cartridges the previously mentioned High Wall in 38-55 and a Manlicher stocked 6.5X55. No Creedmore's here.. One of my favorite M70's is a 300 Savage.

Yep, I really appreciate Pre 64 M 70 ACTIONS. The rifles themselves.... ho hum. Back in the 80s into the 90s I hit EVERY gun show within reasonable driving distance. Extremes were Tulsa, Ok C, and FT. Worth Tx. I handled more Pre 64s than I can possibly remember. NOT ONE of them impressed in looks or feel. I could have bought a truck load for $ 400.00 ea. (Wish Now I Had.... for Resale) Other new rifles were $ 150.00-200.00. I have owned or played with every cartridge that interests me from .223--,338 edit - .358 (Whelen) I'm very happy with my assortment and would love to own certain Brand Rifles, eg. "Colt Sauer", "Kleingunther", certain Sakos, etc. I still want to play with a .416 RM. I have absolutely NO reason to own one but I'd like to play with one. I haven't shot a charcoal burner since 2011 and have NO plans to do so. NO OFFENSE, diff personalities. I ain't bored.

Story goes it was nickel plated so it would show up better in the old black and white films. Ended up making a display case setup for it. This would keep me interested while hunting. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL
