Re: 308chrosshairs new rifle
That set up was used in Vietnam right? I read a book that talked about the soldiers deciding between(and I could be wrong on this) an M70 3006, or the later on M700 .308win. They also had either this Unertl, or another scope which I've forgotten the name of right now(Redfield maybe)
Is this correct or do I remember incorrectly?

Re: 308chrosshairs new rifle
That's a good looking rifle. I hope to get around to finishing mine one of these days.

Re: 308chrosshairs new rifle
in early 'nam they used a pre-64 win in 30-06 and a unertl 10x using LC 173gr match; after that they used a rem 700 308 with a redfield 3-9 scope

They used both.
Both the Remington 700 in .308, the win70 in 3006, AND both the unertl, and the Redfield.
I read several books on nam and they agreed on this.

All you have to have to do is look on ebay for the stocks. I have seen plenty of them on there. I have picked up a couple myself.

I was saying the unertl they used was an 8x.. I am pretty sure they never used a 10x.. I wasn't refering to the redfield at all. Sorry about that. I should have been more clear..

I guess timing is everything. I have not had any luck looking for a pre-64 long action stock that was of the correct style. One I did find was cracked.

Re: 308chrosshairs new rifle
Very nice rifle! Next on my list of things I want and can't afford, Winchester pre war target M70 and a Lyman Super Targetspot.

Re: 308chrosshairs new rifle
If I reember correctly,In Nam,on a flat root top over looking a city,G.I.'s snipers using a array of weapons including a .270 cal. Could be a typo error?

Re: 308chrosshairs new rifle
Thanks guys for all the nice compliments. This rifle project took about two years to put all together. Shot the weapon with
Federal premium 165 gr BTSP to break in the barrel. The barrel
broke in only about after six rds. It shot 1/2 inch group right from the GTG. I plan to hand load and workup a load 175 SMK's. I
came across some vintage 1967 LC 173 GR match ammo that I
will shoot a few rounds just for grins, that should be very
interesting.

Who built it? I have a 1949 M70 in .30-06, with an Unertl 1.5" 14x that I need to send to TBA to have him spec build it.. I plan on doing handloads for it also, but was thinking more of 190 SMK's... Try to really reach out with the Sum-beach....

Re: 308chrosshairs new rifle
One of the shops here has a circa 40's to 60's Springfield 03 with a Unertl 10x like that on it. The guy is wondering what it's worth so he can sell it without getting screwed.
I think the rifle is a NRA spec'd Springfield Army Conversion rifle

Mike Lau (TBA) built it. I also thought about trying 190 SMK"s. </div></div>
How long did it take Mike to turn it around once you had everything? I'm considering sending him my pre-64, pre-war action, but finding a stock for the pre-war has been tough.
BTW, the link for the repoduction stocks looks good. Cost is not much more for some of the originals in good shape out there.

Mike told me that as long as you get the scope he can find the rest of the stuff.. It takes longer, but he can get it.. I have the rifle and scope, so if it needs a new stock then that is something he can find, but generally it takes mIke about 9-15 months for a build.. Even with everything included..
