    Customizing the Model 70 Safari Express

    Picked this m70 up at local gun shop. Nothing super special but stock work is very nicely done I had a rod put in tang, pillar bedded. Was less than 1200$ in rig. Shoots great! Good hunter no worries about dings and scratches.

I put a 98 Timney trigger in it and it works had to file little bit of material from receiver as Timney has redesigned trigger. But I plan on having a gunsmith in stall safety. Liked the...

    375 Safari Express English style stock

    Picked up this m70 recently just wanted to share a pic with you 375 guys. It has had the stock shaped to look like a Holland or what I think a true H&H would look like, I might be wrong.

    Smokeless powder shortage on the way?

    Talk at my local Gun shop is powders will become hard to get because key ingredients are sourced from Russia and China. I have noticed the price of powders going crazy. I use a lot of IMR powder and see a pound can run from $65 - 75$ which is crazy!!! No IMR in stock at Midway. Think I’m gonna...

    Do .458 win mag barrels all have twist’s that will shoot these bullets accurately? Not sure what my twist is but smith thought there is only one twist rate for the 458. Also who sells these bullets as someday hope to hunt Africa but reality is bear would most likely be the only dangerous game I...

    Thanks for info. Could you suggest a good bullet in the 300-350 gr category. This would be most powerful gun I’ve shot, want to get used to it. Little nervous about starting out with 500 gr beast! Believe gun shop had some Speer 350 gr bullets

    Hi guys, was gonna load some 300 gr Interlocks for my gun. Have most Imr powders some H335. Was looking for a good load and a good powder. One of reloading books said max load would only shoot about 2100 ft per second?? This seemed low for such a light bullet. Believe powder was IMR 4198

    Thanks everyone, wouldn’t be what it is without the best gunsmith around. He made what it is. He put the Winchester bolt handle on it, final shaped stock and gave it that incredible finish. His engraving is second to none and put sights on it and more….. Thank you Mark P.

    Scope Question

    I agree with SRvet. If your Weatherby is a bolt action it was made by Anschutz for Weatherby and is a super high quality gun. Unless someone ruined barrel cleaning. Try different rings as gun has mounting rail machined into receiver. Can’t be the bases!

    Scope Question

    I also have same set up. I am sure you know what you’re doing but maybe one of the mounts aren’t sitting right on the 11 mm groove? I have Burris high gloss mounts on mine and leupold 2-7 rimfire scope. Don’t see how gun it’s self can be issue.
