[QUOTE=".30US, post: 316140, member: 19108"] I've been working on this for about three years. I always wanted a Winchester Model 70, but loved my issued bolt rifle, so I thought I would blend the two. .30-06 isn't the most competitive or trendy long-range caliber anymore, but a lot of great shooting has been done with the caliber and I'm partial to it. This started as a post-'64 Winchester Stealth .270. I still have a little work left to do, such as break it in and get the action nice and smooth from use, replace the trigger, and refinish in Birdsong Green-T. With the 20 MOA base, I found that I need to add a strap-on cheekpiece for better cheek weld. Weight is about 14.5lbs.; right on target with my beloved M40A1. Post-'64 Win 70 action (squared) PAC-NOR Super Match 25" polygonal-rifled 1:10 barrel (marked "30 US") McMillan HTG glass bedded stock Williams one-piece steel floorplate (Melonited along with the action screws) Wichita Engineering sling swivels (Melonited) Farrell Ind 20MOA steel scope base VTAC steel 35mm low rings IOR Valdada 3-18X42mm first focal plane scope [IMG]http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a312/51gunner/WinchesterM7030US.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
