[QUOTE="Philward, post: 2300805, member: 92604"] I decided just a few years ago that I wanted a nicer rifle, so I bought a Winchester M70 super grade 257 Roberts Cabela's 50th anniversary edition. I could do without the gold embellished Cabela's floor plate, but heck it looks nice and shoots pretty good, and it's the nicest gun I have. That's custom enough for me. I've had a few ideas over the years for customizing a rifle or 2, rem 760 20"barrel 338-06, plastic stock and 1-4 or 2-7 scope-Elk rifle for pnw woods. Get my r700 mountain rifle in 270 win fitted with 24" barrel, action trued, carbon stock. Mossberg 1550 30-06 rebarrelled to 280ai 24" and a nice take off wood stock from a Weatherby vanguard. Or just bite the bullet and order a Weatherby m5 Backcountry in same caliber. But I just make do with what I have because it all still works just fine. I guess the only real custom rifle I have is the R700 adl 7rm from the 60's that I transferred to a classic stock and made a bdl, then quick clip and bedded it, then changed to Remington factory dbm setup. Stripped the stock of any factory stain and finished with satin spar varnish. Shots well for me, has accounted for 3 Rosie's and a blacktail. And so goes the ramblings on nightshift...🙂 [/QUOTE]
