Very nice Chuck! FXII 6X36?

How long before she is up for sale? I think LBL already has his eye on it

VERY nice rig, chuck! Lots of fine details. Congrats!

Very nice chuck ! I'm jealous. The metal work is very nice, you got yourself a slick rifle and the catridge is classy to.
I'm Also looking to get a legend stock for my model 70. Could you recommend a smith for the finish work on the legend stock inletting (bolt cut out and ejection port) and painting the stock.
Thanks.

Correct, and not for a while.

That will do! Undoubtedly a large step up from virtually all of the M70 customs shown on the board. Well done sir!

Pretty fancy Stevens/axis build up.

Nice classy rifle. How does it shoot?

 

[chuck nelson]

Thanks everyone.

Sorry, I forgot to post the ones of the bolt release.

 

[blargon]

Does it shoot better than the one you built?

 

[chuck nelson]

Which one is that?

I haven't shot this one yet.

Didn't you build one in 7x57 that looked similar?

 

[SuperCub]

Very nice incl the chambering!

I had a 7X57 built on a Model 70 action cut with the same reamer but that is where the similarities ended.

Form, function, and class, yup looks to me like you've covered all the bases. Nicely done Chuck.
