Here are a few of mine that I happen to have pictures of on my computer Transition .375 special order without a rear sight. 257 Super Grade .22 Hornet, I just love the little round on this big action! Transition 250/3000 Special order Super Grade Carbine. 30/06 target model FYI this one is for sale A 358 that someone in the past bored out to 350 Rem Mag and did a lot of action work to get the round to work andthen put it in a nice looking stock. FYI this one is for sale [img] http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/muskynut_123/HPIM0302.jpg[/img] Ultra Grade Featherweight in .270 [img] http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/rr33/muskynut_123/M70s001.jpg[/img] Random shot of a couple rifles including a couple M70's. The bottom one is a 300H&H, third from the bottom is not technically a M70 but an FN A3G which is a M70 action, and the second from the top is a New Haven Stainless Featherweight in 308 with a BOSS system on it. The 308 and 300 a 300 are my main hunting rifles. You've got some damn fine taste my friend. I bet that fn a3g shoots lights out all day long. Very nice!!!
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Might as well play. Nothing special like some of the above. However, they're all solid shooters: Classic Sporter .30-06 in McMillan Edge. Started life as a FWT 7mm-08 and turned into a .308W with Bartlein barrel. Scary accurate. pre64 FWT (57 or 58) .308W Mod 70 Winlight .300WM that ended up with a #4Hart in .300WM. Dad pre war .30-06 that was BTH, so I had it redone by a guy that knows how.

Not Model 70s, but I'll throw them in. Old nickle steel Mod 12 16ga that still works when asked. Model 59 12ga. that a friend sold me. Way ahead of its time. Grandads 94 .32WS. Winchester superX model 1: Perhaps the best made auto until recently. Finally one that is often overlooked and was just as good as the original. In fact parts were interchangeable with fitting.
