Winchester M70

FWIW- 6.5PRC ammo is now available. As of a couple days ago. Won't be long before Midway and some other retailers have it.

Seems like I paid $650 including the bluing?? I will look and see if I have the receipt. I had to send a second check for the blueing as its technically done by one of their employees, not the douglas barrel company. I sent them the gun, they called and took a CC when they were ready to work, then I sent a check for blueing...

It took about 3 months, which is warp speed for gunsmithing work.

They also matched the barrel profile from the original 1959 M70 so the stock fit was perfect.

0.67" 5 shot group using Nosler factory 140 grain Accubonds and the original trigger. Giving it to the old man, may post something about it later...

Hmm. That's good info. Thanks.

Thank you, I will look into them.

300WSM is still popular and is what id go with if you really want to re barrel, might just be better off selling it. is it a controlled round feed gun or push feed?

Push feed.

do you by chance have any ammo or brass for the 7mm wsm?

No, never shot it.

I assume it doesn't shoot worth a darn?

I don't know. I have never shot it. I got the rifle from a coworker that tired of trying to find ammo.
