Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles McMillan Model 70 FWT - Edge

Paint by my local gun shop

Nice! What’s going in it ?

Winchester Featherweight 308, blued

Perfection!! That’s an ideal package. What load? Looking forward to more pics.

Wow... that’s hideous.

Tiger King edition

Pic’s will be along once I get it together.

My go-to 308 load is 48.5 gr Varget with a 155 Scenar in Lapua cases. The load is one-hole accurate in four of my 308’s. It also defies most reload laws of reason.

This. But funny.


Okie John

Glad you like it. 🤓

At least you can appreciate a good 308 despite its wrapper.

Got a Stainless FWT in 308 that I'm thinking about dropping in an McM Edge.. Now I'm giving it a second thought.

That's hard to look at.. Hmmm went back to see if OP was 4-1-2020..

You piss off the paint dude at the local gun shop?

My M70 FW in an Edge goes 5 pounds, 15.5 ounces (w/o scope). RJ

Not gonna lose that one in a snowbank.

I can indeed

And paint is an easy fix

rj308,
Is that a Ruger sight on the front?

Very nice!

No sir, I just wanted to step outside the box. I like bright colors a lot. It took some some strong convincing to get him to go that bright. And, it took him 6 tries to get it right.

I saw one similar on the fire several years ago & decided then I would do one someday.

If Carol Baskins was going to own a rifle that would be the stock on it....

...................Agree.....But as we all say sometimes,,,"beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

The rest of us mostly are the bee-hold-eees...lol

Well, it’ll still make a good handle for the bang stick.

Regardless of what color it is, the Winlite pattern McMillan is a great stock for my purposes. The work well with a scope or irons, which is ideal since I use Talley QDs. I've got the 9.3 in an Edge fill, and an '06 in std. The boy has his in a std fill winlite. Both mine are black, but the kid got a wild idea and went with olive for his.

JRaw. Yes, it is a Ruger sight. When I put them on non-Rugers, I restyle them a bit. I have stainless Ruger front sight mounts on 2 stainless Featherweights and a Browning X-Bolt. I also plan to put one on a SS Tikka Superlight 308 that I have on order. I use 2 piece Pic or Weaver scope mounts and quick detachable X/S rear ghost ring sights for back-up and sometimes primary hunting sights. I remove the slotted screw from the X/S Low Weaver Back-up ghost ring sights and install a thumb nut for easy, no tools attachment to my rifle in he field. RJ
