Ok,
2nd hand Winchester Mod 70, 1980's. .308 - 26" Heavy Barrel. Standard wood stock, quite beaten up. Action & Barrel in decent shape, no signs of pitting/crown damage/etc.
Rifle acquisition cost £250.
Budget for re-work £500
This needs to be made into a hill rifle for reds that can also be used for a bit of target work.
Personally I am thinking of pillar and glass bedding the stock, applying a nice dark green Duracoat, getting picantilly rail fitted to action, Harris Bipod, Niggeloh dual strap, Jewell trigger....
What would you guys do?
