I’ve used Bansner Sheephunter stocks on numerous M70 Classics. Would be worth a call to check on Pre 64 fit, I’d imagine it would be fine. Nothing wrong with the good old .270; if I ever build a Pre 64, that is what it will be. I’ve taken everything from antelope to AK/YK moose with that with...
It’s a Vanguard, no? Nothing special at all about it, other than it has a different “engraved” $5 floorplate. If the OP must have a Weatherby, trade it to your dealer for a Camila in a reasonable caliber for your daughter. Probably be better off with a Savage for her similar to what he has already.
Crap. I’m a sucker for M70’s. Looks like another round of tickets coming. If I could win the credit there will be a sweet .270 homage to JOC but that ultra modern piece would do quite the trick on the mountain!
Good advice. Can’t go into these things looking to win. Must look at it as a donation or you will be a sad pathetic human almost all the time.
And I will raise your 1/287 mountain goat tag to 1/2412…
Been applying since last century…
2007 CO Bighorn S12 Archery 3+7 pts
2018 UT Mountain Goat Beaver 12 points
2021 AZ Desert Bighorn 15DS 22 points
Should throw in 2018 Alaska Musk Ox, those are just like a sheep tag and no points to help.
Apply in all states but CA, OR, WA and many many...
I’d choose Musk Ox. I think they look pretty good without a full body mount. At least I think mine does:
I took mine DIY in September. I’d like to go back and do a winter hunt for the experience and for the meat. If I won the lottery I’d buy a Musk Ox Governor tag every year and fly the whole...
I hunted CO Bighorns DIY with my recurve in 2007. Was not able to take my ram. I have zero chance to draw again. I buy tickets every year and am a life member of RMBS because that is the best I can do to thank them for the big part they played in there being populations for us to hunt. Wild...

^^^ old article but I can confirm this pneumonia has spread all over the 15s in AZ. Last month I was blessed to hunt 15D and took a 9 year old ram who had pneumonia. He was coughing and had a nasty green yellow mucus dripping out of his nose. Such...
I’m surprised you guys have not pointed him towards an Echols Classic. I’d bet D’Arcy would flatten a handle for him.
TTom, you are not going to find what you want for double the price you want to pay. You obviously haven’t been in any gun shops lately.
@buffybr
What is the rifle/cartridge/scope setup there? Looks pretty classic.
I will second the tough dog comment. Looks like a golden retriever! Must be mixed with a little St. Bernard.
