[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 2968030, member: 92595"] I had two rifles built, and one under way, by Kirby Allen, [USER=10]@Fiftydriver[/USER] (before he was famous), one, a 300 Win Mag on a Model 70 action and one on a Sako .375 rebuilt as a .257 STW. That was a long time ago. Leupold Mark IV scope on the 300, VX5 HD 3-15x44 on the .257, Talley rings. It had a Mark IV too, but a friend needed it more than I did, in tough times, so I passed it along. The .300 accounted for many deer and elk, several antelope and 2 caribou, all one-shot kills. To this day, puts the first two Federal Premium Barnes touching. .257 STW takes coyote and PDs at 500 yards. I passed the .300 along to my SIL, Active Duty Army. Even the Ranger snipers who shot it were impressed. And their rifles and scopes are like mega bucks. He's building a 6.5 CM for my granddaughter, so 3 generations of hunters in our family. That's how much we trust his work. Every time I look at a factory rifle (other than Sako, Cooper, or Dakota, and 2 of 3 no more exist) I just say no. Maybe they shoot, and maybe they don't. Why gamble? If I want another rifle, which I likely won't (which I said 5 rifles ago) I'll just call Kirby. [/QUOTE]
