Very nice.

Is it a long action or short action? Not sure maybe winchester never made a short action in the LH version?

Nice rifle, Chuck. Pretty impressive 'all up' weight for a M70 too.

Nice rifle in a great caliber.

Gorgeous Chuck, almost had Dennis working on a 7x57 M70 for me! Held back as I wasn't sure if I wanted to do what you did, and go stainless. Beauty. How does the new classic SS M70 action handle the 7x57?

Nice rig! Got a range report yet? Then again I just know that rifle will shoot.

As an aside, on Tuesday I had the opportunity ro shoot a Brno 600 in 7X57 loaded with 140 gr TSX. There was an old metal pail on a sand knoll 500 yards away that was the target. The fellow who owned the rifle said I should use the lowewr of the two wires below the cross hair and aim at the top edge of the pail. Just as I was going to shoot he said it hit a couple of inches left at 100. OK, 2 minutes of correction plus another two for the wind, I held off two pail diameters to the right and was rewarded with a clang. There's no moss growing on a 7X57.

I have no doubt that this rifle will never make it to the EE forum... Ill buy it before that happens!!

Love to see how it shoots!!
