[QUOTE="BrianW, post: 22705, member: 682"] Mike, Yep, a M70 Classic, left-handed, stainless. Now I just need to locate a donor rifle for the project. Naturally a rifle chambered for a belter magnum cartridge would probably work best, at least where the bolt face is concerened. Not sure about the feed rails though? I won't say anything negative about the other brand, but for me it has to be a Winchester (or some very nice Mauser type clone) and it won't be chambered in the RUM version. I think this rifle will fit in nicely with my 416Taylor and 375H&H, both of which are M70 Classics. Too bad the 375H&H is blued, or it would be doing the duty I plan for the .338 rifle, which is being banged around in an open skiff in S.E. Alaska. 'Course when I make it to Africa, the blued rifle will be just the ticket. 338Lapua, Thanks again for all the help! Your Dakota sounds like a great rifle! When I get further along with this rifle, I'll probably be asking you some more questions. (like maybe if you had the throat cut for a certain bullet, etc) BrianW [/QUOTE]
