Maybe I can help someone make up their mind in this Remington and Savage dominated world. There is no better hunting rifle than a CRF M-70. Compared to a Rem 700, the CRF M-70 is more durable, reliable, and robust; and allows for a VERY accurate rifle. When I finally got rid of all my Rem 700 actioned rifles—factory and custom—and went to CRF M-70s—factory and custom—the accuracy of my rigs improved. That is because it's the barrel and bedding that are the primary drivers of accuracy.
If I was shooting any kind of competition that required rapid shots from a magazine I would use a CRF M-70. Nothing feeds better than a CRF M-70 properly set up. I have many times been able to get a CRF M-70 feed and eject a magazine full of empty cases.
When you add up the cost of the parts alone you will exceed what is being asked for this rig. A CRF M-70 donor rifle is hard to find for much under $800 nowadays and often they are more, especially in stainless. Add $550 for a stock, $350 for a barrel, and $90 for bottom metal and you are getting the machine work and stock bedding for free.
So if you are uncertain because you are unfamiliar with Wicnchester Model 70s.......well, now you know........
I would give Brandon at custom gun coating a call . His work is awesomeThanks K.
Who would you guys recommend for:
(a) blasting and recoating of the metal with a more durable black finish and
(b) repainting of the stock to a Kryptek pattern and color of my choice?
Nice rifle. Great deal do you have a round count.
