Those are nice. Could live with one of those in a 7x57 or .308 pretty easily.

The 270 is a Super America. yep, i don't think there's a pinch of difference in performance between them... bro's C Grade is long gone(he's trying to buy it back), but he's still got a Colt Sauer in 270 Win (luv that rifle)... we always wanted a Super America back in the day, never got one...

Here is the two BGR’s. I’m working on getting down to a half dozen rifles, ain’t letting the BGR’ go. They fit me perfectly. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/X7NXQmDm/IMG-3449.jpg)

If you’re talking about the “C grades” from the Custom Shop, there are a bunch on GI and a few on GB. I just picked up a 22/250 from my FFL this afternoon that I got on GB. It’s a beauty and appears to have only been proof fired.

When I bought my Whelen they had a700 Custom that a guy had ordered but died before it arrived. He owned a local grocery chain. It was a 300 H&H and was engraved and had the prettiest stock I had ever seen. Engraving and inlays. The gunshop owner had died too and his heirs were liquidating everything at very good prices. I was poor at the time after a divorce. Wish I could have bought the 300. It was probably a 1/3 what it was worth. Prettiest rifle I have ever seen.

Never owned a 700, never found the right one.
Someone on here has a lefty C grade 25-06, that is the right one if I ever saw it.
Bore size is no substitute for shot placement and
Power is no substitute for bullet performance. 458WIN

Left-handed C-grade 25-06...probably the last one out the door before the custom shop shut down. Awesome shooter with 100 the grain TTSX load. Wish I could find another lefty C-grade in .30-06.

There she is. Absolutely beautiful. I trust she gets the opportunity to pursue things in fur coats. Would be criminal not to.
