Many years ago, I bought a Win 70 .300 wsm. I had it rebarreled by E.R. Shaw and I tried my hand at bedding the stock for it. My results were less than stellar, so I contacted a couple of the Smiths here on the hide to bed it into a new stock. Mark Gordon from SAC accepted the job without hesitation. When I received the completed work, I found that the stock work, bottom metal and bedding job were perfect and it shot my 168 SMK load extremely well. Then it sat in my safe.
Recently, I feel that I have reached a level of shooting maturity that has led me to reduce the population of my gun safe. There is no need to have a safe full of guns that I can't shoot well, so I am concentrating on being very proficient with what I have. With the help of a member here (Thanks Mallard!!), I began the quest for a LR load with the Hornady 225 gr Match round. The ladder test produced intriguing results and the 2nd stage of load development produced a promising group (Load Data Thread Link). Now, I will move out to 1000 yards with the load to really put the gear to the test.
Thanks again to you Mark for your fantastic work!!
