[QUOTE="CLICKBANGBANG, post: 558941, member: 28472"] I'm bumping this to say I'm also using close to your set up. Winchester M70 in 7mm Rem Mag. Mine is a "Black Shadow". It is a pre Stealth synthetic stocked gun. I bought it new in 2000 from Walmart for $442. I'm setting up to shoot to 500 yards with Hornady 162s and some Win Supreme factory ammo. I put a brake on my 26" like yours. My shoulder thanks me for it. It was a synthetic stocked gun but was very uncomfortable. So I found a wood stock that is lighter than the synthetic and fits me like a glove. I'm having a guy float the barrel and bed the action. The stock cost me $150, another $100 to jig the action and finish sand, and I'm not sure what my buddy will charge me to finish it (it shouldn't be much). I did pick up a Leupold VX-3 3-9x40 CDS that I'm putting in the Leupold dovetail rings. I also have a Sightron SII 4-16x42 MD if it looks like I need a little more power. The best mod to the gun so far is the table top trigger job. It was very easy to do with a gun smithing guide. It was a heavy from the factory. My guess on it was 6 lbs with a bit of take up. Now it brakes predictably like a glass rod with no creep at 2 lbs. This is what shrunk my groups the most so far. Guns not done yet, but I'm not going to rebarrel for a while. Until my skills have caught up with the gun, and my wallet catches up with my want list. [/QUOTE]
