Sweet rifles. You sure do like to rebarrel them though. May I ask why? Generally the model 70's shoot well. Even the featherweights. The rifle on the bottom must be a WSM. Nice collection..

Re the WSM, you are correct! It was built from a 308 I believe and was lots of trouble, new mag follower, modified ejector, open bolt face and then had to mill the receiver ejection opening back a bit after it was all completed as empties would not eject. In the end, it turned out to be a great shooter and very nice rifle.

Oh man, that seems like a lot of trouble. It looks like a factory 300WSM though. Nice rifles!! I love those fwt stocks.
