Nice rifle. M70 featherweights are sweet.
Thank ya sir! yep they are pretty sweet..made a few mods to that one, had some NECG sights put on it, some qd rings and a timney trigger, and worked up some handloads with 165 gn speer hot cors and reloder 16 goin around 2950 fps..good little setup for the thick woods/swamp around here
More and more, using my faux Howa Alpine in 7mm-08 for everything. Picked up the same cerekoted barreled action, but with a 22" barrel. Talley lightweights support a Swaro Z3 3-10x42 and it all sits nicely in a Bansner stock. My hand loads, using 120gr Barnes TTSX shoot sub moa and, so far, has killed everything I've shot with it. Lol! It's a nice, easy to carry, rifle.

Here in southern Michigan I wish I could use the rifles I have but I cant so its basically this 450bushy. Over the winter I picked up a 350L and I'll run it this summer to see if I like it.

My guess is that you will. They're fun and kill just fine.

Nice. I'm going to buy/bui!d an AR handgun to go along with the Ruger Ranch.

I figure worse case, I can rebarrel it. Or sell the upper to make my money back. I think I paid 170 for the complete upper. The bushnell I had laying around.
I hope it shoots good. I'll buy new hand guards and a flash suppressor of some kind.
My go to rifle in Pennsylvania was 257 Roberts, current rifle is a Shaw Mark VII with a Leupold 4-12. From crows and groundhogs to coyotes and then deer it did it all. Now in WY it is still my go to rifle for most applications except elk, and even then I keep telling myself that it I need to take it out for cow elk with a good 120 partition load.

Thanks, I think we have chatted before. You shoot a 375 H&H

Very possible......I’ve got a bad case of “CRS”! Your memory seems to be much better than mine! Actually a .375 AI! You need to come back to “the fire”, more often! memtb

If I posted on this earlier, please keep in mind I'm old and simple.
We can use any centerfire here, so I could go as low as a .223 without issue, and maybe without bears. But Virginia is less than two miles from here, and they have a .23 caliber minimum, so a 6mm of some sort is probably as low as I could go and cover all my possibilities. Have two of those right now.
Can't imagine being without both a .308 and a .270 though; just too much history with those, and they certainly get it done. Also, a 98 is, to my mind anyway, the last word in hunting rifles, so if "There Can Be Only One", one of my FN .270s would be it, and I'd just have to deal with the weight as best I could.
Sadly, no rifles are allowed for hunting where I live. It's all buckshot and muzzleloader hunting. So all my rifles have to travel to hunt. I can and do use my old Ruger 77 50 muzzle loader a lot here. Ive taken a bunch of Dee and turkeys and one bear with it. Bfly
Be nice and work hard, you never have enough time or friends.
