If there was a slight chance of mis-communication, yep, you betcha... But's she's finally home.... An accurate color picture in direct sunlight, Olive green Micky Featherweight Stock with Bird-song Black T coating,, I have before and after pics of the barreled action with the Black T, interesting stuff for you guys who hunt salt, I'll throw some pics up sometime today.

I'd like to say thanks to a few fellow members here for their help.
Gunnut308, (Roger) was in a Porn shop (or did he say Pawn shop?), and spied this Lefty Winchester .300 WSM. He put a shout out here in the classifieds and Roger purchased the rifle for me and shipped it to me, Thanks Roger.
Nsaqam, Luepy 2.5x8 VX-3 and Snk rings, Thanks Bud..
The orignal wood stock went to KKalaska, in Alaska, (duh!)
Rick Bin, the Micky stock. Rick and I had several p.m.s regarding this problem child. grin...
I went with Standard fill, and the Rifle now weighs 7-13 with scope mounted. Original weight with wood was 8lbs 4 oz's.
The orignal wood FW weighed 36 oz. The Micky FW weighed 29 oz.

Hey, that's nice! But the crank is on the wrong side.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths. "there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser" "the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"

Sweet! What's the funny thing on the front?
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Sweet rifle Kenneth!!
Don't let these screwed up starboard siders get you down. You and I both know that a shifter on the port side is the only way proper riflemen operate.
I really like the look of that Birdsong finish.

Hey, that's nice! But the crank is on the wrong side. My sympathies as well. Glad you don't know better.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

whats your barrel contour? Factory sporter, The rifle is considered to be a Featherweight, but the WSM calibers came with sporter weight contours, A very handy, ergonomic, and balanced package, I like it...
