Thanks Dan!  Hows it going?

Been off line for awhile. Had some hard rows to hoe. Hoping its all over.....


Been shooting the gun more with handloads and factory stuff. ..at one hundred yrds, its super consistant. Doesnt shoot any smaller than inch an a half. But thats fine by me. The rifle appears to not have a favorite food. It digest them all with the same predictable accuracy results.. Take that back, a lil, it does like Rem factory 200 gr stuff, but that load is not in any danger of being used.  No, its not a spectacular shooter, but, it wasnt built for that purpose.   But itll always hit where u want it to.  Loving it.  Most likely will be loading the 250 partition.

what a score! congrats  :tup:
here is a pic of my new model 70 left hand that is a classic meaning it was built with the same features as a pre-64. this is my 2nd 30-06 that I've been able to find in this platform. the 1st I put a Lilja .270 barrel on it and just been loving it. I plan on turning this one into a 35 Whelen Ackley Improved since I have dies brass from one that I sold a few years back. it loved reloader 15 with 225s of nearly any flavor.

Between this rifle and my 30"s era M 69 22, imreally appreceative of the product, finish and fitting and elegance of old time Winchester guns
