Hey, this M70 was on GB for over two hours before I hit the magic button!
If you could see the price I paid for it you'd be really pissed.

And Kenneth, I haven't bought that sweet lefty KS here in the Classifieds.
Although I have found myself checking out loading data for the .300WM lately!

The M70 may one day go down the road but I doubt it.
The Kimber.....NEVER!

My SS M70 in 270 Win. wears an Edge stock, Talley Lightweights, and a 2.5-8 Conquest. It's front heavy, but not so bad you can't aim well. I have no complaints at all with the setup. IMO, it's the perfect hunting rifle.

![[Linked Image]](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u49/Mark_Dobrenski/spring11027.jpg) Not quite 7 all up, it has the factory bottom metal in it. Should of gone PT&G, if I'd of asked Brad ahead of time I wouldn't of goofed it up. Brads got this down to a science and then some. This had the factory tube on it in 300 wsm cut to 23". The factory tube is pretty well toasted so I'm having my smith stick my 338 WSM tube back on it. I most definately want and love a weight forward feel to the rig. Dober

FYI....there is very little difference in weight between a PT&G and factory FN bottom metal.....big difference between PT&G and the older steel, but not the FN, they are pretty light. The 1-pc bottom metal in the NH m70s was made by Williams for Winchester. Browning/FN did not pick up Williams and now use PT&G to make their bottom metal. A number of gun manufacturers do not make their own bottom metal and contract out to PT&G for that part.

Good info Gary!
So how much is a Williams made steel BM set worth?
How about a LH .270WSM M70 Walnut stock?

Yes a sub 7 pound Model 70 is available, its called a Kimber Montana learn to shoot right handed. You're a mean, vindictive bastige! Oh Im well aware if you start practicing now, you may be ready for a Yonkers 84M by October...hint
If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not

Good luck with our build. I don't know if this was a typo or intentional, but I got a little chuckle out of it... You jerks are going to cause me to go shopping again... let's see, Mickey EDGE, M70 EW 7 WSM, Tubbs FP... "Your" was meant... maybe it's Feudian, maybe not. Aside, I dropped in the Tubbs, not to save weight, but because the previous firing pin had been messed with and was broken by the previous owner. The factory replacement required I ship the gun to Missouri to have it fixed. Forget it. Just had my smith install the Tubbs instead, and saving an ounce didn't hurt!

Dober, assuming you meant "not quite 8 all up"?
