Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors I think this BOSS looks out of place

Yeah, it sure is an excellent bullet. I'll run across some eventually on a closeout deal or something like that..

Oh no. Does it actually say "out of stock". I bought the last 3 they had in the nation.. ha ha.. OOPS..

It does. You did, ya bastid!

But if anyone feels inclined to enrich Larry’s coffers, they actually have them in stock.

Phew!! I was starting to get worried..

I'm going to go to the store and look for a good paint to use. Tmitch had a great idea with the OD green color..

Maybe throw a little black speckle in, I kinda like the way my .358 came out.

That's a beauty. I wish I had some black webbing paint.. I just went with the typical very light texture paint I have. Gives it a good feel and adds a little color. I do like your stock though. I recently bought a Tikka that is very similar:


My new 22-250 resides in that stock now. The 204 may get sent down the road..

Well, it's painted. Should be really dry by tomorrow. Hot here today!! I think it will look a little better now. Not quite so plain tupperware looking anyway..

Not exactly what I was wanting, but it will suffice for now:

I like green myself. I think it looks sharp on 70’s for some reason.

I agree with the others. Chop the BOSS. Good downrigger weight.

ha ha..

Came close to buying a Boss Braked SS Classic in the smaller 300 win mag but it got sold a few days before but was still displayed.

Have you sent your 300wby in for a new red decelerator yet? I'm contemplating putting one on my new to me 300wby XTR Sporter. Still up in the air about selling that one though. If I do, I'm going to leave the original pad on it and let someone else worry about it. She's a kicker with the solid red pad.

No I have not sent it in yet. Probably this week or next. My first MK V 300 wby was a Saco Maine SS fluted barrel gun, going to say just a few ounces over 7 lbs . It was a handful at first but 1 year later later not a thought about recoil with it. It was boringly accurate, did not matter what I fed it. I hope this 70 is as accurate.

These are nice looking rifles. Really like the short barrel with sights on the rifle at Top. The second rifle from the Top looks like everything goes together, rifle, stock, scope, etc. What stock is 2nd rifle from the top wearing?

Thanks. The rifle on top is a recent purchase. I bought it 2 months ago: it is a 1961 30-06 featherweight in a Mcmillan stock. The second one down is my pre 64 338WM semi custom with Gretan stainless barrel, and midnight blue cerakote. It sits in a Brown Precision PoundR. Its a favorite of mine. One of my favorite elk rifles, since it only weighs about 8 pounds all up. The rifle below that also wears a Brown Precision PoundR. A recent purchase of mine. I have $180 (total) in the stock, after selling the wood stock that it used to wear. That rifle is a very good rechambered 300H&H, now a 300WBY. Shoots lights out and is nice and light as well. Very similar to the 338wm, except for the 2" longer barrel and factory irons. All of these rifles have been glass bedded, and fine tuned, so they shoot very well.

Really like those Brown Precision stocks...especially with the red pads...very nice. I've seen pics of Brown Precision stocks but I guess they have always been on a Rem 700. 8# all up is amazing for a rifle like that in my book.

If Thor were a hunter then I imagine the second rifle from the top would be his hammer.

Ha ha, yeah. It is a hammer. A pretty precise one at that. One of my favorites for sure. These guys probably get tired of me posting pictures of it...


It's lightweitht, holds 4 magnum cartridges in the box and 1 in the pipe. Pretty good fire power. It balances perfectly. Really a very good combination, like you said. I don't think I'd change a thing on it. The scope is an older Zeiss Conquest that has very nice glass. I went with the 3.5-10x44, since it is one of my main elk rifles and most shots are fairly close:


That 300WBY is pretty much the same way, but with a cheaper Zeiss scope on top. It will work out well enough though.
