I prefer Blued steel and nice wood stock.
With sights on the barrel and no muzzle breaks....I'm just too old school.
I know your set up is about as practical as can be.
However, it's your gun. If you're happy I'm happy for you!!
Good luck and shoot straight!
That Barrel Is A Yankee Barrel
Made 30 Minutes Yankee'er Of Me
looks Good Willie[^]
This was my concoction..I had it built from a standard model 70 7mm magnum action,wood stocks don't perform as well as a McMillian composite stock,coating has lasted very well in all sorts of weather and handling..The BOSS produces paper cutting holes...Roy Weatherby designed great cartridges,but I don't care for their rifles...Model 70 comes with a better trigger system than you can buy..safety is second to none, along with the Mauser claw foot...action is unbelievable....that's why Dakota used that style for their offerings..free floating barrel is a must for accuracy...MY gunsmith in Selma(Home of Jeff Sessions)did the machine work...I fit the barrel...as for as noise,its not as bad as you would think...Swarovski glass is fabulous..see at nite with a moon half full...LOL!Anyone else have a custom deer rifle?[;)]
Why yes. Yes I do.......a few different ones.
Yours looks like a great set up for your use. Nothing quite like hunting with a true custom rifle.

I also have the same setup in 300 Weatherby,with a model 70 Laredo...only difference is it has a HS precision stock and a 6x24x50 Swarovski TDS scope..Strictly shooting house...
Lasers... were shooting lasers
