This rifle initially started life as a Winchester Super Shadow .300 WSM. I worked on upgrading parts by myself, doing what I could, when I could. The biggest issue was that when I finished the bedding of the stock, it was less than stellar. So, after years of staring at me from the back of my safe, I got off my ass and started looking for a smith to do a professional job on it. Those that I contacted did not do work on Winchester 70's, so I thought that I had hit a dead end. Until, I saw US Handgunner's bolt work here on the Hide. I contacted him and had the bolt knob coversion done, with outstanding results. I discussed the work with Mark and he bit on the job, so I shipped off the barreled action and had the new stock drop shipped to him. A couple of weeks later, it arrived at my door. The fit and finish were spectacular. The bedding job was super tight and flawless. I could not have asked for better communication and performance and now hold Mark "Short Action Customs" Gordon in high regard, both personally and professionally.

I moved my NXS onto a EGW 20 moa rail and hit the range. It grouped substantially better, over the groups with my original stock work. It rocks with 155 Scenars, 168 Hornady AMAX & Berger 210 VLD-H's (all under 1" at 100 yards). Now, I can try to stretch it out to see what it's true potential is.
Thanks Mark!!!!!
