Wolfkiller...as most people know when you slam a bolt home the gun should not fire...that was not the case with my Model 70...enough said. Unfortunately I never returned it to him and mentioned it to him because odds are he never touched it probably someone else in his shop and I am quite a distance from him...but for the prices he charges everything should be " PERFECT" if you get my drift. My buddy has a stainless MOdel 70 270 win with a walnut stock. Could not shoot better than 2" at 100 ...restocked it in a Mcmillan had the trigger done and added a one piece floorplate assembly. Gun still shoots almost exactly the same now it has an odd flyer now and then is the only noticeable change, Only thing can be wrong with that gun IMHO is it has a crap barrel. If he decides to screw another barrel on it he will haves 1500 in it he now has about 1000 in it now with the floorplate and Mcmillan stock...I bought a 700 KS SS 7 rem mag which is great rifle with exception of no floorplate(have to live with that) it cost me 825 dollars thru Gun List...it shoots Federal factory ammo into less than 1 inch... Its not quite a factory rifle but not that far off from 1 either. But I seriously doubt a 3-4000 or more custom can touch that KS especially if i start handloading it.. Now I know a lot of guys say buy Tiika or Sako and that lately has really started to irritate me I have had to hold off for awhile but here it comes. Never owned a Tiika just picked up and handled a T3 and felt it was a nice gun but I am not a plastics lover and it simply won' t work for me . Owned 2 Sakos both the previous version l591 and l691 not the 75 beautifully made great quality 1 was a Fiberclass in 06 and the other was a hunter in 308 both needed tweaking to shoot as from the factory trigger as well as bedding jobs..and because of their stupid recoil lug they are hard as heck to bed and certainly not a job for the casual gunsmith. You can keep the rings also ...they will never match Ruger rings for reliablility and standard dovetail rings for availability . I guess I couldn' t keep them around (Sakos) because every Remington and Ruger I owned out shot them. Go ahead Sako lovers out there flame me but for the price they both cost I didn' t get my moneys worth. So how in the heck can a rifle they make for less than 1/2 the cost be worth anything. Just my 10 dollars worth of opinions.
