[QUOTE="Springville shooter, post: 1096352, member: 79205"] Mountain man, Not sure what I would do in your shoes. I lucked out and didn't have to make that decision. I do think it's cool that this rifle was done so long ago as it still has the cool old feel. Reminds me of driving a 1960's muscle car. Might be strange to do a modern build on an old M70 action. Fear no wind, I have pondered how the barrels of yesteryear compare with what we have now. All I know about this one is that it is a 26" #4 made by Shilen. I'm assuming mid 70's vintage. I have a couple Douglas barrels from the 70's that shoot pretty good. I'm just crossing my fingers that I can make this one shoot......preferably 115 Bergers or 108 JLK's. Thanks for all the kind words guys. Can't wait to keep shooting!--------SS [/QUOTE]
