    Pre 64 Model 70 build

    This pre-64 rifle started as my Father's LR Prone Rifle. After the barrel, an Obermeyer 4 groove was wore out I talked with George Gardner about re-barreling it to another caliber. George suggested the 6.5 -284. This is set up as a dual purpose, any sight rifle. McMillian Prone Stock, 26"...

    Build on a post-64 Model 70?

    I have two Winchester 70’s built by GA Precision. My .243 is a DBM, in a Manners stock and I also have a pre-64 built as a dual purpose Prone/F-Class rifle in 6.5-284. Both shoot great. It can be a little harder at times finding part for Winchesters as opposed to the Remington 700. Another...

    Cleaning Product "Wipe-Out" any opinions?
