Another new (but different) 7mm

Post by dashooter »

Seems to be the flavour of the day atm.
Seen this one a couple of weeks back in a QGE special email and thought 'that could be interesting' and promptly forgot about it.
Fast forward to Tuesday night and having a few sherberts with a mate talking guns n shit I remembered that I had seen this rifle.
Called them up yesterday to see if it was still available and got a few picatures taken and sent to me for a gander.
Didn't look too bad for the price so I took the chance this morning.

Winchester Model 70 PF with an Allan Swan barrel in 7mm Rem Mag.
As it turns out I have a heap of 7mm Wby cases and know a smith that has the reamer so it wont be a Rem for long. :lol:
Now the waiting game begins. :cry: :cry:

Must have cost a motza if you needed two calculators to work out if you could afford it, and a tape measure to check the distance from your missus when you tell her. :lol: :lol:

Looks ok for an old Winchester. Alan Swans barrels are sposed to be a pretty fair thing too. :D

That's the back room at QGE where the gun is. I guess they need all the calculators they can get their hands on. :lol:

IT would appear so. Still have a 6.5 gap. Will do that proper traditional though. :lol:
