    Winchester model 70 "Coyote" version worth building on?

    Stockys is going to release a model 70 stock, so that should help with aftermarket support. What is your experience with Timney triggers in model 70s? I put one in mine since the factory trigger was awful but I still have the original that I could have worked over.

    Winchester model 70 "Coyote" version worth building on?

    I’m going to have to disagree that trading a model 70 for a rem 700 is money ahead. Winchester has a 3 position safety, which allows the gun to be unloaded on safe. The trigger won’t fail and freeze or decide to fire when the safety gets tripped. The only advantage is aftermarket parts...

    Winchester model 70 "Coyote" version worth building on?

    There are custom guns built off model 70s, you can search around and find examples. The biggest “issue” is the extractor cut when rebarrelling just costs more but I wouldn’t view it as a negative as long as the gunsmith doing the rebarrelling knows what he is doing. In the stockys thread...

    Idaho Wolves, the story no one is talking about.

    There also a chance the attorneys for the state did a poor job arguing. Never under estimate the ability of a bad attorney to screw up a court case.

    Help selecting new mountain rifle

    If you want to replace barrels without a lot of hassle, you can buy a barrel vice and prefits for tikkas and do it yourself. A t3x lite will be a little cheaper and you can have it threaded, and it meets your criteria for reliable and lightweight. I don’t think they make a t3x lite in 6.5 prc...

    Q - The Fix

    I misread, thanks for the correction. Sounds like the barrel needs to be sent in to proof research.

    Q - The Fix

    Probably how the barrel was made. I would contact Q and ask them about it, for what the rifle costs it shouldn’t leave the factory with a bad barrel.

    Tikka Bolts

    That’s awesome someone is making left hand 223 bolt bodies in left hand, it took a bit of digging around for me to find a left hand 223 tikka.

    Tikka T3x Superlite SS 30-06 (Optic needed)

    I have a 3-9 accupoint and it is a good scope and you don’t need batteries for the illumination. It would likely work for your uses.

    FORMADILIOUS.........I'm calling you OUT!!

    You can find a t3 light for less so it would be under a 1000 threaded. 750 for a t3 light+ 100-150 for threading. Not sure what an adapter would cost if you needed it for a 5/8 thread pitch. It would come out to being about the same as a seekins.

    SWFA website updated; More to come in 2024

    They may have been told to not say anything until closer to the release. The backorder waits are annoying but I suspect LOW (who makes the 3-9)would rather fill orders for higher volume customers like Vortex and Trijicon over a smaller company with low order volume.

    Another possible wolf delay

    When wolves were introduced to Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, the original plan was for wolves to hit X breeding pairs in each state and to have Y number of wolves. It has been a while since I looked into it but I believe Idaho hit those numbers in 2007. The season was held up in litigation for...
