Here's a pic of a real slick pre 64 , 338 Win. I used to own. A good friend of mine has it now. It used to belong to Bill Williamson, Fair Chase Safaris. Someone had cut the barrel to 23" which actually made it real handy. I had it sighted in with Federal 210gr Nosler partitions and the old gun would shoot 1 1/4" with those. No telling where that gun has been.

I like that stock too. A 7mm wsm won't fit in that long action bugger though

Oh well....I was at the range yesterday and could not duplicate the groups I posted for my EW. Thought I had it nailed down but NO!! I have a different scope on it now so I'll try that.

Well, I bought a sweet std wt 30-06 yesterday. Figured I'd show and tell that one too It's a last year pre 64 (1963) and I'll tell you, quality is susposed to be low on these. I call BS on that. They must of been having a great day that day when this one went out the door . Quality is very nice (see pics): The first time I saw this rifle (more than a year ago) I almost bought it, but put it in my back pocket (back of my mind) because I bought my 9.3x62mm from the guy instead. This one is all original except for the pachmayr decelerator installed ...Pretty dang clean though, the pictures don't do it justice...

BSA - Now that you have a new std weight you have no need for the fwt that's taking up so much room. Right...? Let me help you with that. Eric

Eric, I was wondering what you were going to say about this one. How about we do a straight across trade for that crappy shooting one I sold you

I don't think there's another pre 64 30-06 this side of the Mississippi that shoots as good as yours . I can't wait to see it in action this year on your antelope hunt. That is if you still plan on using it.

Thanks buddy. I think I'll leave this one the way it is. The barrel channel and inletting is just about perfect. However, that may change and I might go wild on it like I did with EricM's rifle. I put a chit load of time into that one. Pillar bedded/glass bedded and freefloated the barrel and still kept it looking almost original to the unsuspecting eye. His is a shooter to say the least and some of my better work: (Epoxied in this dummie forend screw, for looks) His rifle shot like this for me: After I sold Eric my std wt 30-06 I went to work on getting my fwt 30-06 to shoot. I just bedded it without pillars and it shoots pretty good too: [img]http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/003-79_zps771fb3ac.jpg[/img][img]http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/013_zpsaa2b4d1e.jpg[/img]It's a shooting sombitch even with elcheapo bullets ......Yeah, maybe I'll atleast bed the new std wt

Here is a picture of the Model 71 that I picked up today. It is an all original, short tang, standard rifle, but is in about 98% condition. It was manufactured in 1939. Have a look. Thanks. donsm70

Hey BSA! I know where there is 1938, long tang carbine for sale. It's a little too rich for my blood, but thought YOU might be interested. donsm70
