ok i now i have a .270 that i want to buy a stock for. It is an older stock(post 64 rifle and stock) with a blind floor breach and all i know is that unlewss i have all the floor and internal housing metal shroude piece then i cant make it anything else. Well i just found a synthetic stock for my everyday hunting rifle and am wanting to know if my winchester model 70 is a long action or short? |

Hey Coasthunter, if your talking about putting a stock on your .270, it will be a long action that you need. BTW what stock are you using? Im planning a build right now and looking for suggestions. So far Im looking at a Manners,H&S Prec and Mcmillian. Hope this helps and good luck to ya. Sage |

coast hunter your action would be a long action. I am a tiny bit confused by "old post 64"......if it is a push feed, ie; nothing but the bolt exposed in the action feed window, then it is in fact a post 64. if it has the claw extracor like a ruger m77 than you could have one of two winchester.... a pre 64 or a post 64 classic. both are different stocks. sage, what are you planning for your build? a mountain gun? a varmint gun? budget? there is a bunch of quality difference between manners, mc millan and hs. toss out what you hope the gun is gonna be and I will tell you what has worked or not worked for me and why.....might save you some $$$, might cost you some $$$ |

High Country, my planned build is a hybrid so to speak. Im looking at a long range varmint with a crossover to a deer gun. As we have talked about eariler Im leaning towards a 6.5 cal for the BC. Ive read inyour past posts of you DRTing deer a long long ways off with your 6.5 /06 and am impressed by the reputation of this cal. My thoughts are for a gun that is lively but very much at home in a prone position, able to utilize all that a give cal has to offer as well as be easy on the shoulder. My current budget is right at 2500 without optics(thats a whole nother relm..........lol) . My action is a donor remmy m700 and I want the barrel to finish at 26 - 28''. I know that this gun will be heavy an am planning for that, but i think 12lbs will be right about what I want it it. Almost like the Savage BVSS. Only thin g is I dont like Stainless. What do you think of this buildup? Any feedback or advice will be most appreciated. Thanks, Sage |

I have one right around 10lbs you can check out. I don't like to pack it near as much as my light guns, but what it lacks in portability it more than makes up for in accuracy. I don't think you will be impressed with the round for quick long range shots, but if you have time to range it and do the math it is VERY impressive. |
