Frankly, I would only be looking at a Winchester 70 unless you want something bigger than 458 Lott/470 Capstick or are going full custom rifle. IMO, the reason for this is that the Winchester 70 has a great stock for most and needs only lop set generally because of this. It also has crf, fixed...

Do you reload? If so, 458 Lott has a lot of power levels from 350gr lighter loads through 400 gr all the way to 500gr solids at 2200fps. You can just work your way up the recoil tree.

I have both on 2 different rifles. If I was shooting over 100 yards, I like the peep and smaller bead. I have that setup as a back up irons on a travel deer/elk gun. On my 458 Lott, I went with 2 leaf express rear and big white bead front. I prefer this to an optic, but that is just me and my...

Both are good rifles, but I’m glad to see AHR focus on the Model 70. It is really much more refined of an action and stock pattern.

Have you considered rechambering a Winchester 70? I think you will be money ahead and happier with the rifle IME. When I had mine done, Ruger’s were $2000 ish in good condition. Win 70 458 Win Mag - $1200 -Rechamber - mag work, maybe bolt stop adjust, check feeding.... -shorten to 22” and...

New style military 2pt that fits diagonally across the front of me. Needs a slider to pull tight for shooting position. LRI FTW sling looks good, but I run stuff made before that and see no need to replace.

Heck, I’d just like to put some money on whether Jim Shockey hits an animal at 900yds from a field position. people do, but they are the anal types with a fair amount of equipment, practice and a set method to dial, shoot, back to zero stop or dial corrections. They aren’t just throwing bullets...

1) Based on looking at rifle/pistol feeding of crf guns in the past, I’m thinking this is the cartridge getting loose as the bolt comes back. Likely this is a follower spring issue. The 458 Lott is hard on these parts. It just weighs a lot so it needs more spring force. The feed rails could be...

Very nice rifle! You must be thrilled. Wayne should publish that he does M70 work. When I got my last rifle, I talked to him like 3 times...always about CZ’s. I probably would have sent him my M70 to work on. In the end, Dennis Olson built my M70 and it came out well enough I want him to re...

That usually costs only about $100. Might be less fitting the pad only. A 3/4” Kickeeze would look sharp and get you to 13 5/8”, if I did the math right. That is pretty short. Remember you want a big bore about 0.25” longer than lower recoil rifle.

If we are talking Weavers, this thread has slipped. Warne’s are my go to quality steel base & ring. Sure, with a 2 lb or larger scope, my go to is TPS. Now we are going to talk Weaver....ok. Weaver’s suck IME. They do not make the ring material strong enough to hold the joint torque. There is...

The Hornady Classic kit is quite functional. You can load it all with a beam scale and trickling method. ....but the Hornady Dispenser pays for itself quickly! Honestly, you won’t be happy. I don’t have experience struggling with lee presses, but I have struggled with their other stuff. You...

why’s that? I knew Warne’s were good stuff, but didn’t know that! I always worry about Warne’s cause they can’t be lapped, but never had an issue.

I decided to use Warne again....really have liked them in the past!

why not Leupold QRW?
