What say you Winchester guru's? Sorry, I had to paint my new Brown PoundR and install a red pad on it.. I'm pretty happy with how my $350.00 classic synthetic 7mm rem mag turned out though.. She's a shooter and a looker. Had to also install a pre fit limbsaver on that one. The old pad was too ratty.

No!!! I actually like the BOSS. ha ha.. Oh man. I was talking about the stock color.. I'm sorry, the BOSS is actually growing on me. Not like a hemroid either.. I don't use it to tune a load yet. I'm still contemplating that one. But it does reduce recoil by a good margin.. Although the 7mm rem mag is not a heavy kicker. The newest 7mm rem mag I bought, I painted the tupperware brown with a little texture. With its new limbsaver, it is very mild mannered.. I could possibly shoot that one "all day long". Here is what I shot last week: Too many new rifles here lately to play with. The biggest pile of brass was from the 7mm rem mags (2 rifles), the smallest pile was from my 300WBY in the poundR. I had enough of that schidt after 9 rounds!! The other piles were from my new 204 Ruger, fast twist Tikka 22-250 and 5 rounds I shot in competition with the Creedmire... That rifle is shooting like a mother I'll tell you. Still loving that new ATACR, but only shoot that rifle once a month now..

Looks like an elk killin machine to me... It only makes the decision of which one to take, that much harder. ha ha.. You guys know what I'm talking about.. Last year I wanted so much to shoot one with my 300wby and the 175 LRX, but my arm got tired of packing that sob all week and on the last day I pulled the lightweight Tikka T3x 7MM08 out for some relief. Tagged my bull with that 7mm08 and it worked just fine. Now that the 300wby is in the Brown PoundR, it is perfect. Not just "damn near", but absolutely perfect. I can only pack 1 rifle around for elk hunting, but yes you are right. The 7mm rem mag BOSS would be devastating on an elk of any size...

I'd leave the way it is and stuff that thing with 175 grain NPs and rain death and destruction....

I'd leave the way it is and stuff that thing with 175 grain NPs and rain death and destruction.... Yeah, it's a great user right now. Just thinking of gussying it up a bit. I've already glass bedded it. I don't know if I'll ever by anymore partitions though since SPS thinks they have to price gouge the fu ck out of us. There are many of us that remember that kind of chit. I'll gladly use Hornady pills or Barnes mono metals, since they remain on the shelf and fairly reasonably priced. It doesn't mind factory federal 175's, so your bullet weight idea may be a good one: It was actually too windy to be shooting that day, but the store clerk I bought the rifle from wanted to see how the rifle shot after I glass bedded it. The Burris reps in that shop, that day, appreciated the feedback on the scope I was using as well...: Here was a little load development. Rifle shows pretty good promise and good consistency after glass bedding: The brown tupperwared 7mm rem mag without the BOSS is a great shooter: Had an issue with that used American made Burris, so I sent it in. I just bought that scope on ebay too, but at least it has a lifetime warranty. Sent in 2 scopes last week. One Zeiss Conquest and that Burris FFII. We will see if Burris fixed the issues it had. If not, I'm going to be pissed!!! Put the Leupold that is actually working back on the blued 7mm rem mag. That is actually a good Leupold, surprisingly...

pre fit limbsaver? Red pachmayr 1" decelerators on the brown PoundR's shown in the first pic.
That's always my "go to" red pad and works well on magnum rifles. ^^^^^ The "pre fit" Limbsaver is also a great recoil pad for reducing recoil on magnum rifles. I do favor the looks of the Pachmayr more though. The fit up on the Limbsaver was excellent: That doesn't always happen with those. Just a warning. Limbsaver makes them for some of the wood stocked model 70's and tupperware stocked model 70's. I threw away the packaging, so I don't have the part number on that one. Here's a better pic of the Limbsaver I'm talking about:

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..

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.

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.

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.

What say you Winchester guru's? Sorry, I had to paint my new Brown PoundR and install a red pad on it.. I'm pretty happy with how my $350.00 classic synthetic 7mm rem mag turned out though.. She's a shooter and a looker. Had to also install a pre fit limbsaver on that one. The old pad was too ratty. 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?

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.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

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.

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.

Holy smack, that is one heck of a group there. Especially when you consider that's a 338 Win Mag. Nice elk too. I'm guessing your freezer is in good shape.

Was in a gun shop last week, looking for components, and my son pointed at a M70 SM Boss Classic in .270wcf. I said nope, no guns this year, then he flipped the tag, $499, it's now on layaway! Could not help myself! Not excited about the Boss, but I just couldn't let it go.

The same thing happened to me when I was buying my recent XTR Sporter 300WBY. Except it was a classic sporter 7mm rem mag for $500. I'm really happy with these 2 new 7mm RM rifles. Have you ever had a rifle with the boss system?

I have a M70 Super Grade .338wm and an A-Bolt .308win. Both rifles are sub-moa, I've never messed with either Boss setting, certainly tames recoil while increasing noise of course. As far as looks, I could do without.

The BOSS is like CROCS... the holes are there because that's where your dignity leaks out.
