My questions:

Have any of you converted a standard model 70 to a blind magazine? If so, how do you do that? What parts would I need? I am considering this for weight savings (minimal, but it counts) and it'll be a little bit more sealed up for the super crappy weather I hunt in. Start with ADL rifle

If a blind magazine is not possible, or if you believe it is a terrible idea, do you have suggestions for lightweight bottom metal? The original gun has the 2-piece bottom metal, but I will be changing over to 1-piece if I go the bottom metal route. I would go this route with a Model 70, no reason to blind a Model 70

Has anyone used a timney model 70 trigger? Is it worth the money over an adjusted new-haven trigger? NO


Do any of you have recommendations for a gunsmith who can put this rifle together for me and do a great job?


Do you know something else I don't know? Are there considerations that I am missing? A way you could save some more weight that I haven't thought of? I would like thoughts and opinions from you all. You can buy lightweight 6.5 Creedmoor, blind magazine rifle right off the shelf and not have to mess with a carbon fiber barrel nor the building of the rifle.

The Winny Whizzum guts,will kick Kreedmire rounds outta da' belly,but that was a NICE fhuqking guess. Hint. Congratulations?!?

'70's in ALL fhuqking fairness,ain't "tricky". It is NO thang,to remove/skew mag spacers,time bolt stops and/or flare ejection ports for COAL requisites. Hint.

Stacking Stupid,atop Stupid,don't make schit "better". Hint.

My "problem" is,I simply fhuqking shoot it all and then some. For that SIMPLISTIC fhuqking reason,wares ain't "equal",nor close. Hint.

The Fieldcraft simply stomps the fhuqking schit outta any/all thangs '70. Hint.

Not that I do not get a KICK outta this fhuqking Retardation! Hint.

Bless your heart for fhuqking trying.

Hint.

LAUGHING!..................
