I also hope for their success. Growing up I'd read David Petzal's articles where he frequently referenced having work done by them or stopping through to look at rare/fine pieces. I haven't had any work done by them but it wasn't for lack of an attempt. I needed work done on a pre64 model 70...

I hope this takes off and catches like wildfire just so I can see the inevitable thread: “.470 should be banned from buffalo hunts!”

Damn it @rookhawk Now my mind starts spinning up again Gonna need more therapy and medication

Indeed. Part of why I was ok with it initially My original thinking was that I’d have a little more velocity with 350gr bullets with a really high SD but otherwise could load to lower pressures than h&h with the same velocity and could shoot H&H ammo in an tough spot I now recognize that...

do you handload? If so, I have an early 1950’s m70 super grade in 375 weatherby that you could PM me about. It was originally a 375h&h that got reamed to 375wby thereafter. It doesn’t have a barrel band swivel and I suspect is too early to have the sight you are mentioning but it has the flush...

It sounds great. I like the McMillan mcwoody stocks. That said, I would call McMillan about it if that is the stock you want. To my recollection that stock is made for the sunny hill drop belly floor plate, not the model 70 The sunny hill drop belly for model 70s may not be available anymore...
