How many of you have had or wanted a Gorgeous Vintage Rifle

Do your other still have the metal butt plates. Worthy to check out if they have that barrel harmonics adjustment screw. My two vintage Winchesters, a model 70 and model 54, both have them when using different bullets and loads it is the final fine tuning. Take note of where it is set if you remove the stock,,,and do remember, those Winchesters have a third screw holding the action in the stock.
Pay attention to tension in that screw too.
The other 3 all have the stock metal butt plates. The 300wm is the only one I own that came factory with a rubber recoil pad. It’s the westerner model. They are all bone stock users.
 
I had something go wrong reloading, once just once, It was with my 280 Remington model 700 mountain rifle. I had to beat the bolt open with a piece of wood. The primer turned into a plating on the bolt face. I was safe, the gun undamaged. The model 700 is maybe the strongest rifle action ever made
