Winchester mod70 30/06

I may be getting an early 70’s Model 70 in 30-06. It has scope blocks on the barrel and just in front of the receiver as well as what I think is a peep sight bracket on the left hand side of the receiver.
I was thinking of making it a white feather Carlos H. Build. What scopes would you recommend for this old rifle? Anyone here have a Mod70 that you can post some pics so I can get ideas. Thank you!

I'm stumped...bolt won't close

Defiance action with Bartlein barrel. 175-ish rounds on it. I bought it used (safe queen bought 10 years ago from customer maker and hardly used) and I have only put 15 rounds on it. Original buyer had 160 rounds on it.

All of a sudden the bolt won't close on factory 140 ELD-M ammo. If I really force it, it will barely go, but it takes an insane amount of force. When I extract the round, there are marks all over the bullet (see pic at end).

My handloads are all 140-ELD-M. I made one just for grins with the same results. It will chamber and extract new or fired brass no issue, so the binding is definitely at the bullet. Remainder of the action is smooth. It runs fine with nothing in it obviously, and it ran factory ammo last week no issue. But this week not so much. Can't see anything obvious with the bore camera.

This is a new box of ammo...maybe these bullets are slightly larger? It will cycle factory federal 6.5CM ammo and leave only a light mark...

Is the solution to have a gunsmith just run the reamer in on a clean-up pass?

This will be interesting

How long before the proof, or lack their of is all over the net? Photos can be spoofed, she needs to pose for open court photos.

Precision Rifle Gear Chad vs Botnia

Looking for any experience of a Chad tuner brake vs a Botnia Maxi. We are in the process of building a PRS rifle for Tactical class in 308 win for my son, so wanting to get the absolute most effective muzzle brake that we can find. The choice seems to be between the Chad and the Botnia, but I cant find much that compares the two. I watched the X-Ring Youtube video, and his conclusion was that they were very similar, but I would be interested to hear the experience of anyone else that has been able to compare the two.

Movie Theater Warfare

Watched last night. Opening scene made me LOL. I really like the intimate detail about the combat portrayal, mindset, etc. I'd say one of the best war movies to come out in quite a while. No BS just a portrayal of what it was like. No stupid ass love story bullshit.

I was in country when this portrayed event went down. I was also with SEALS as a Marine, but they were not "Rank & File" like the SEALS were portrayed in the movie. Which I find odd because the producer & director were adamant about making the movie based upon the real dude's accounts.

The SAW firing pissed me off. It's always a healthy dose of "Die Motherfucker die" cadence for the minimum burst as to prevent a feeding issue. They had them single shot & shit. Just my $.02. Definitely a watch for sure!

Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

I'm reloading some of these Hornady 105gn BTHP 6mm Creedmoor bullets in brand new Aphpa Brass. All brass was prepped. Using the L.E. Micrometer seating die with a K&M arbor press. Also using the L.E. Wilson expanding mandrel. Neck tension at .001. When seating these bullets I am getting an indent around the tip of the bullet. Called Wilson and the recommended I use the VLD stem. So I ordered one and swapped out the standard stem for the VLD stem. Same thing is happening putting a deep ring around the tip of the bullet when seating. Called Wilson back and they told me to send in the stem with a couple bullets and they are going to mod the stem to the bullet under warranty. The tech I spoke with says he does this quite often with the VLD stem. It's funny because I had also reloaded some with the Barnes Match Burner 105gn BTHP with the standard stem and I'm not having this issue with the Barnes bullets. I thought that it might just be the powder charge of 39.6gn of H4350 being compressed but I'm at the low end of the scale.

Has anyone ever had any issues like this and what was the result?

Is the .17HMR really much better than .22LR for varmints?

I am considering investing in my Savage 93R17 BSEV to get some more use out of it. I haven't shot it in years.

I don't shoot it much anymore because it's boringly accurate and as a gopher rifle my .22 is more like my hunting and match rifles and is three times cheaper to shoot while the Savage is quite lacking at the moment in the optics and chassis department. The .22 works for what I use it for but I was thinking the .17 would be better.

My thinking was I would have a flatter shooting rifle for medium varmints like skunks, foxes, beavers, muskrats, and possibly coyotes for when centerfires would be overkill or too loud around the property as suppressors aren't an option.


I am far from a ballistics expert but comparing the .17HMR to the .22 Mini Mags it's better but not a lot better.



Here's .22:

And here's the .17:

Screenshot_20250809_213636_Strelok Pro.jpg


So it seems that my point blank range only increases from about 110 yards to 140 yards or so which isn't a lot really. Also not sure that bullet energy is the end all, be all of stopping power but it doesn't seem to offer a huge increase for larger animals.


Would I be correct to think the .17HMR is only 25 to 30% better than a .22 with Mini Mags? Stingers pack more of a punch but they weren't as accurate for me. The .17 does shoot flatter but past 150 yards does it have enough energy for the critters I would be going after?

Also side note, if I get a new base rail I don't think there is any reason to go with a 20 MOA one as at 300 yards it only needs a little over 3 mil.

Savage AICS DBM choices?

Building a new stock for my old Savage 308. Right now it sits in a Boyds Pro Varmint I bedded it into 10 year ago, which while serviceable, is a bit short for LOP and I just dont care for how it tracks under recoil. I pulled some really heavily figured cherry and some curly maple off the shelf and glued up a nice blank. My original game plan was to just reuse the stock Savage DBM and factory mags, mostly because they are old school blued steel, and I kind wanted to keep this rifle looking old school other than the SSTL Criterion barrel it currently has. Also plan on adding in some LRI pillars (will require a bit of modification to work with a Savage) and the LRI cheek riser. However, after looking at how the factory profile of the inlet, I decided I want to increase the thickness of the inlet under the front action screw as wood stocks are prone to cracking in front of the magwell. I also plan on a crossbolt in the front and rear of the magwell to help with that.

So other than the Savage factory part and Atlasworx, does anyone know of anything else? Im looking at the profile of the Savage and it looks really wide in comparison the Atlasworx which I think will cause issues with inletting as I dont want that wider and rounder profile of it.
