Okay, so,.. I had a 2001 Winchester Model 70 Classic Featherweight chambered in 300 WSM. It was a family heirloom so to speak which I only traded my father for our new prized family heirloom rifle. That being said tell me what you guys think about the rifle im about to talk about and if I made a good choice. Here's what I traded my 300 WSM for-
--Ruger Bolt Action Scout Rifle
-.308 conversion to .358 Winchester
-Shilen 22" Match Grade barrel (Matte black)
-New England Custom guns Masterpiece banded front sight w/ flip up front sight w/ large bead.
-Masterpiece rear sight fully adjustable for Elevation and Windage.
-Bolt face machined and Squared to barrel.
-Warne Quick Detachable Matte black medium height scope rings.
-Zeiss Terra scope with Butler Creek flip open scope caps.
-2- 5 round mags
-2- 10 round mags
That all being said.. what do you guys (and ladies) think? Here's a picture attachment. Thanks for your input.
BTW, I totally dig that I can in an INSTANT take down the scope and use fine iron sites for shorter ranges. My 300 WSM didnt have this luxury but ofcourse were talking about different beasts. The 300 WSM also didnt have a scope but had a Bell and Carlson stock. The stock on this one is beautiful but its wood so I have to be careful of oil swelling up the wood. I think ill leave it upside down in the rack after cleaning. The trade also included 5 boxes of Hornady Custom 200 gr ammo.
