Fresh snow, a remington and a wt buck! What dreams are made of.
tremendous value in these little guns. All shoot under an inch with the 270 shooting much better.

I'm digging that DM in 260 rem.
Nice setup!
Nice rifle, that 257. I wanted one of those real bad about 15yrs ago. No luck finding one, so I asked Bevan King to rebarrel a MR in 270 for me.
BBl is stainless and the stock has since been switched to a TI take-off. I'd like to have a MR in 308.
BC stock was 34 oz, Wildcat blank was 17.2 oz and finished with paint, bedding and pad 19.8 oz.
Mountain SS 7mm08 with a Wildcat. 6lbs 3oz all scoped up.
Sweet! I am contemplating a similar setup right now, just have a few surplus to get rid of then settle in on something very similar to this. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes they are very hard to find, even in the states where I got this one. I can't afford to sell it, lol but it was cheaper than rebarelling for sure. These 2 are for my boys when they get a bit bigger, good news is I get to play with them for a bit!
I keep an eye out for 700's in odd or discontinued chamberings as they seem to be good at dropping stuff steady.
I did find one at the time that was in Ontario. I bugged the old guy for a while and finally gave up, so a re-barrel was the only option.
The only thing I don't like about them was the short action. I like having the 3" OAL option in mine.

I went the same route. Just waiting for a few more parts to come in before sending it away to get all finished.
