full auto 45 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 Ok, picked up a Winchester model 70 in 308 last week. Heavy barrel, Winchester composite stock, Harris bipod and a Burris scope. Scope will be replaced with either a Leupold or a Nikon M-308 like on my Rock River LAR-8. Trigger is stock and feels like maybe 4-5 pounds. Any suggestions on triggers or stocks?
planeflyer21 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Timney trigger, McMillan stock.

Robocop1051 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 I know a sadistic bastard who owns a lightweight Mod 70 in .300SAUM (I think that's the caliber). I was foolish enough to fire three rounds through it.

I was foolish enough to fire three rounds through it. No it isn't.It's .300 WSM, stainless...and my precious. We just need to get him a decent-er scope.

Tripledeuce Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 I'm liking the Nikon M308 on my wifes lar 308, Respectfully Terry
Robocop1051 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 No it isn't.It's .300 WSSM, stainless...and my precious. Ah yes. My bad... much more obscene.
planeflyer21 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Ah yes. My bad... much more obscene. Should have read ".300 WSM".Those WSSMs were...special.
Robocop1051 Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Whatever it was... it looked like a brass 12g with a .30 cal erection. It felt like a Mike Tyson punch. The first shot knocked me stupid. I think the second shot I shit myself and the third shot made me sterile for a month. I never had a rifle hurt that much.
shepp Posted December 29, 2015 Report Posted December 29, 2015 third shot made me sterile for a month. I never had a rifle hurt that much. you better shoot that gun 6 times a month ;)
full auto 45 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Posted December 29, 2015 A friend of mine had a Remington bolty in 7mm magnum. I shot it 3 times. Went to the doctor to have my shoulder replaced. It was like a hit with a sledge hammer each time. My buddy I hunt with uses a Browning in 300 WSM. He doesn't shoot a lot, but 400+ yard shots is what he is after. I like the 308. At 100 yards or 600, it's a take down.
Dane Armory Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 Can't believe I missed this thread. Winchester 70 ,nice gun! Good trigger! It's a keeper, I will always keep mine.
Malig8r Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 I really like my Tikka T3 hunter in 300 WSM. Although, after the first trip to the range my next stop was to buy a limbsaver!
Dane Armory Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Limbsaver sure helped ease the pain!
