That's what I've got in the works next....

I'm done building.



I'm into remodeling now......

I'd vote MR stock and MR contour... Might look something like this...

Did the switcharoo to Edge stocks on both rigs.

1. Remington 700 ADL matte CM action, 700 BDL matte alloy bottom metal, 700 LVSF 22" barrel rechambered from 223 to 22-250, bedding in McM Hunter purple/turqoise/lightgrey.

2. Remington 7 SS action & bottom metal, 6BR barrel, bedded in a factory laminated stock.

I just started shaping a rough stock blank in maple for a Rem 700 7mm-08 I picked up. I need to send the barreled action off to be refinished.

We'll see how it goes. This is the first stock I've tried to make from something other than a blank, so we'll see if I can make it work with something that's been roughed out.

308 sucks 10 twist #7 fluted, A-5, seekins DBM, Leupold MK4 one piece base with MK4 3.5-10..

6-223 8 twist LVSF dupe, McMillan Rem BDL...

280AI, Rem 700, Brux #3 fluted, McMillan swirly MR stock

250AI Rem M7, Brux #2 fluted, McMillan swirly MR stock

Fluted the bolts, hollowed out the handles & slabbed some off the action on both of these. Got to load some ammo to make sure they feed & function, then tear them apart to have the actions Cerakoted.

243AI on FN SPR action, Brux #4 fluted, McMillan swirly supergrade stock

Heavy 223AI that I haven't done anything but aquire the parts

Colors?

Olive and black

If you had mentioned a swirly in orange and black...I might have curled my lip.

But looking at it...all I can say is awesome!!

TY, I also have a A5 in the same color. One of my favorite swirleys. Blk/yellow is on top of my list one day. 22-250ai/22-243.

I'm thinking of a 6mm BR, .272" no turn neck; Sucks short action and an Accuracy International 2.0 stock, Krieger Light Palma barrel, SS, 8" twist finished at 29". Should be fun.

700 250AI is at Mcmillan having barrel channel inlet fixed....not their fault. 1/3 brown 1/3 black 1/3 purple swirl and Rock LVSF dupe. Its a bit nose heavy so going to cut it back a bit.

Sitting on two 8 twist 224 rocks and waiting on a 3rd. Will probably go light on one in a #2 and going into a McWoody Swirl Compact in 223ai . And heavy on the other with a 5hv Rock I already have and a A5 in 22-250ai

Finished 70 Classic in 25-06ai with a Douglas #2 and a brown blind mag Mickey Edge. Yet to be fired in new stock but drivin tacks in old stock.

And about 5 others in various stages of completion.

Model 70 WSSM coyote rebarreled to 358 WSSM (Indiana Deer Cartridge) with #2 SS cut to 23"
Waiting on HTG/Tex stock to make it here from "out west"...

Funny you should ask.

I didn't have any projects going until I walked into the local pawn shop last Saturday. He doesn't have many long guns, but he had an old '06 that somebody had spatter painted with gray paint. Thing is the floor plate and bolt looked like a pre64 model 70. Sure enough it was and a featherweight to boot circa 1956. I had my smith adjust the trigger and I've taken the first layer of paint off the original stock. It looks remarkably like one of those McSwirleys with some of the wood showing through the paint. The LOP is under 13" so I've got to find some walnut and redo the recoil pad.

Old guys like old guns.

Good luck with the Winchester, projects are fun.

This one was delivered out of the coals just last week.
Still burning...

Sucks and Brux.
