Building a Rifle on a Tight Budget

Both of those CRF Win 70 actions are from the New Haven era between the CRF reintroduction in 1992 and the FN takeover in 2006. Easy to tell because the triggers are old style M 70 triggers. FN Win 70, post New Haven triggers are a boxed style trigger. Those two actions are absolutely excellent for building custom rifles and have IMO the best hunting rifle trigger ever designed,
 
Typically you will need to repaint wet stripper coats several times before removing. Use warm water and a small brass brush to scrub off stripper laden with stock finish. It will be gassy so do it in a well ventilated area. May take several attempts to get all the finish off.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
