Hello guys,
Just like the title says, I have 2 Win 70 CFR actions (new one made by FNH) that I'm looking to use for building two precision/hunting rifles.
These two actions are actually two Win 70 extreme weather s/s rifles. One in 30-06 (that will stay in the same caliber) and the other one is in 7mm Rem Mag that will either end up in a 300 Win Mag or 338 Win Mag.
The only parts I will keep are the actions. I want them to be blueprinted and mated with custom barrels and Mcm stocks. Cerakoted as well.
Remember, these rifles will be half precision and half hunting rifles. So, I don't want them to be as heavy as my PGW Coyote.
2 questions here:
First, what gunsmith would you recommend for these builds? I already have contacted the Chou brothers and, as I write this, they don't work on Win 70 for now.
Second, what steel (blue or s/s) floorplate would you use? Williams can't be exported from Brownells (I called today). Maybe Pacific tool and gauge?
Thanks for your suggestions
