Thread: Grandads Model 70 restoration

One of my hunting mates had the exact same rifle for years with VX1 3-9. I used to give him shit about the stock, it was so dry it looked like a bit of drift wood with a pipe attached to it. He shot all his best animals with it. Sold it on for a stainless & plastic Remington 270. Memories are made from rifles like this.

300 wsm of course. About 24 inch barrel and no, nothing, nada on the end of the like suppressor or brake and I don't use hearing protection, simply because there's nothing there to protect.
Joke on this line, ex wife has bits of cancer so they hack that out but decide to do an mri on her brain. ah good news there's nothing there.

So far so good, under moa with 2 factory loads. Will spend more time with it in time but for now it needs to go and be put to use!
