2nd one down. I love the old red recoil pads.

Jim made that in about 1975.
Jim was a Master Gunsmith.They are all custom by Palma armorer JK Cloward. For a while I kept him busy!
I currently have 4 M70's, two CRF Classic Stainless, one in .270 (best trigger and most accurate of the bunch) and the other in .338 Win Mag. The .338 has the BOSS system, and carries like it's about 12 feet long? 20 years ago I went to a local gunsmith to get it bobbed off, and he convinced me to let him make a thread protector and keep the threads for the BOSS system. He did a great job, you have to look real hard to see the joint. I have killed a few elk with this one, all at ridiculously close range with a 1.5x5 VXIII mounted on top in Leupold QR rings, and I have a 3.5x10 VXIII in QR rings that I can run on it for longer distances. But the two CRF Featherweights are my favorites... a blue 7-08 with real nice wood (Nikon), and my favorite, a 6.5x55 Swede, with real bland wood (2.5x8 Leupold). My daughter carries the Swede now, but it still sits in my safe!View attachment 533089

Its an eye opener how fast the 338wm will put an elk down. My hunting partner and i use our 338wm's for elk hunting almost religiously. Youll like how it performs.I love it, not sure I could sell either of these. I bought the lightweight in 1985 when I was stationed in California. The .338 is just alot if gun but I am planning on an idaho elk hunt with it this year.
