Cleaning up my WSM, not needed again this year.

[Eagleye]

So, I will probably not need this one again this year [ 325 WSM, It accounted for my Bull Elk], so I am
cleaning it up. May go for deer yet, but my 6mm Remington will get the nod for it. 90 Scirocco II at
3200 is quite persuasive, lol. Hope all had a great season. Dave.

That’s awesome Dave!

Can we get a picture ? Curious on the setup and barrel length ?

Absolutely!! It is a Winchester M70 Ultimate Shadow. Has a 24" barrel, and is all blued
I tossed the Synthetic stock in favor of one off a different M70. It is Nutmeg laminate,
and sports a Decelerator Recoil pad. Trigger is at 2-¾ lbs.

The scope is a Leupold VX - 3i 3.5-10x40

While it shoots several loads very well, my pet hunting load is: WW Brass, WLRM primer
7x grains of Norma MRP, chasing the 196 grain Norma ORYX. Shoots 5/8 moa right out
to 500 yards, muzzle velocity is flirting with 3000 fps. Deadly Elk/Moose rifle. Took my Bull
Elk this year at 308 yards, one shot and done. Pics below, Dave.
