What I like about it is you can carry your rifle resting over your arm if you are slipping around with the loop already positioned on your arm. Helps with off hand shots that can happen quickly or if there is nothing to prop against. Works great in field positions as well. I ought to know, I invented it. Wanted to sell them for a reasonable price, but still have them made here in the USA and use American made swivels. (sent PM) Best, JM

BobinNH Campfire 'Bwana B Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 35,900	Originally Posted by Brad The market finally offers the right mixture of aftermarket accessories to lighten an M70 to my liking. M70 300 WSM, 23" barrel, McMillan Hunter's Edge, PT&G Alloy Bottom Metal, Tubbs Firing Pin, 6x36LR in X-Low Talley Lightweight's... w/ Uncle Mike's Mountain Sling and 3 Rounds, 7lb's 9oz's all-up weight. Enough barrel weight to settle down, and enough overall weight to tame the 300 WSM, but not so much to preclude it from being a great backpack rifle. My idea of an elk rifle: Nice Brad! Looks like an "anything" rifle to me.... The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Aside from trigger tuning the rifle is unaltered. Steel Warne bases and steel Burris rings hold a 4x33 Leupold. Not the lightest ring and base setup around, but with a 300WSM I don't mind a few extra ounces, as it is this rig weighs in a 7lbs 14.4oz. Here's an older pic of it with a Leupold M8 3x.

For shotguns, perhaps my grandfather's Model 12 with factory cutts compensator. Look poppy, that kit built 50 cal TC hawken you made with your dad is bigger than the dink you shot!!!

Its butt ugly, too damn heavy and most of the bluing is gone but the trigger is superb. I have to try pretty hard to miss with that rifle. Man, this thread is crawling with Predator Master members. Why do those pics look so familair lol Nice to see all the Pm members here

Too little weight in the barrel and the perch belly is something I just couldn't warm to. Since PT&G Aluminum Bottom Metal, the McMillan Edge and Talley Lwt's in Ex-Low have become available, the M70 is far more to my liking. “Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away” Antoine de Saint-Exupery

In my opine, I think the "belly" is an engineering feature to give the stock optimal strength and rigidity. My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
