Take a look at what Santa left under my tree!!
      #173944 - 24/01/11 06:39 AM

I'm slowly getting over the withdrawal symptoms of not having Nitro Express for a few weeks.
Had to post a picture of the stock Santa left me.
I received a McMillan stock for my 7x57, rifle details are a Win M70 push feed, a 24" Bartlein #2 profile barrel, 1-8" twist with 5R rifling. It wears a 4.5-14 Leupold.
The stock is a Sako Hunter pattern in LH configuration. Colours are 50% Forest Green, 25% Dark Grey, 25% White, I had a couple of pillars installed and the LOP lengthened to 14". It weighs 8lb 11 ozs.



Regards,
David.

Who fluted the bolt Dave ?.

The colour will fit with some of your other "non traditional" cloured stocks mate.ie the Taylor !!.

I like it.

Neale,
Got Jim to flute the bolt, onlt just to keep it apart from the other M70 bolts I've got, it actually interchanges with the 225 bolt, which might not be a good thing.
Had someone tell me they "Liked my Weatherby Vanguard" at a range once. Had to get them to wash their mouth out with soap.
