    Re: Shoot Slow----as fast as you can HAHAHA!!! Awesome Video!!! I wonder if people use double rifles on Grizzly Bears? With those beasts I think that hunter would be "game over" with the first bite. Lucky to have only broken a wrist!

    Upgraded Win M70 Bolt Face

    I am looking at a Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 that is chambered in 30-06. I wanted to rebarrel it to 458 Win Mag. As for the bolt, can the 30-06 bolt face be upgraded somehow to a Magnum bolt face? Or would I have to get a new bolt?
