Sent Stainless Model 70 Classic in 375 H&H to be stocked in an Echols legend with Sunny Hill bottom metal. Also had him make a few more changes. New bolt handle, build up of the bolt release, and his tang modification. Really looking forward to having it in hand. These are the pictures he teased me with. A couple of duplicates but was easier just to copy them all. Last edited by Keechi_Kid; 09/16/21.

Can't wait to hear how you like it. I have a Legend on my 375 Improved as well and couldn't be happier. The metal work on yours looks excellent! Semper Fi

OP Keechi_Kid Campfire Member K Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 456	That’s the plan for now. He refinished all the metal work to match. Honestly my biggest question is whether I will ultimately be happy with the barrel as is. I know the factory 375 barrel is heavy, but I was wanting to give it a try in this configuration before committing to swapping it around. Can always take some barrel off, cannot put it back on.

It feels great but lacks open sights which I am fine with on this rifle. Seems it weighed 7 3/4" with the 2-7X VX2. Conduct is the best proof of character.

Sorry, but I thought the same thing. Some nice Conetrol bases and rings would match that sexy metalwork, but I am guessing you are using QR rings with the iron sights.
