It wears a Zeiss Conquest DL 3-12x50. Bought it off of Sako76 here on the fire. Great gun from a great guy to deal with! Wish there was a like button on this forum! Whole lotta posts on this thread to like!

Though in 31 years, I have modified the load a bit, and went from a 2.5-8 Leupold to a 3.5-10 Leupold CDX mounted in Leupold QD bases/rings. Rifle: semi-custom, Model 70:Win., Douglas Match Grade SS barrel with iron sights, in. McMillan Classic stock. Caliber/ Cartridge : 375 AI. Bullet: Barnes 250 TTSX @ 3130 fps. will go to Barnes 270 LRX when I get some! Weighs in @ 9 lbs 1 ounce......scoped, loaded and slung! memtb Last edited by memtb; 09/28/21.

It shoots bughole groups and kills stuff dedernhell without pounding the snot out of me. Scope on it is what's been on it since I got it new and has worked well: VX-3 (or III, can't ever remember) 2 1/2 - 8 with B & C reticle. Also, it's a really nice rifle to look at, great piece of wood. Mathew 22: 37-39

It's not 100% done yet, but, Shileny, my Shilen DGR, 7RM, LRTSi 3-12, Grayboe Outlander, Timney CE 2-stage, PTG Obendorf, Silencerco Omega build is the one. The barrel is going on a diet as soon as I figure out the lathe. I enjoy this no-smith build much. Runner up, EZ peasy but I gotta swap the scope. That's cheating? Rem 700 Mtn 270 parts gun with a 6X SWFA, good old Walker, factory BM, sitting in a frugal Stocky's stock.
