CRF 3 position safety options

[millerkiller77]

I've searched here and Google a bit and I just can't believe there are such limited choices.
I'm looking for a STAINLESS STEEL, CRF, 3 position safety, fixed magazine, chambered in 300wsm.

I really like the Winchester extreme weather and have in other calibers but it is now discontinued. I really wish I would have bought more of these when they were available..

I have two Kimbers already that check all the boxes, but I can't bring myself to buy another one, the mediocre accuracy and absolutely horrendous customer service, I just can't deal with them any more. I know a lot of folks love their Kimbers, but the other half hates them...Also, the Pachmyr recoil pad just adds insult to injury... it's like putting a bumper sticker on a Ferrari.

I dont do Savage, they just don't ring my bell

Ruger M77 MKII I already have, the sloppy bolt and grittiness is the reason it only got fired twice and now sits in shame, permanent solitary isolation.

Am I missing another manufacturer? Or am going to have a custom rifle built?

Thank you for any input you may have.

Montana used to make their 1999 and you can still find them around. You might see about that

Wasn't aware of that company, I'll check it out.
Thank you

There are a number of M70 Extreme Stainless in 300WSM rifles out there New in the Box out on Gun Broker. Prepare to be boarded when it comes to the price.

I am pretty sure you can order a CRF action with a 3 position safety from Defiance. It will set you back a little.

I couldn't find any on GB. If you happen across one would you mind sending me a link? I found a few of the "Coyote" versions, but none in standard factory "extreme weather " unmolested

I did look at the defiance actions today and honestly thought it was going to be my best bet..except I do not have the patience to build one, nor the experience to make sure it is done correctly...and I spent 4hrs in the internet rabbit hole looking for a rifle builder which led me to even more questions. I searched Hunttalk for "custom rifles" and found so many builders that it was overwhelming.

Millerkiller, when I look at winchesters site it only shows what you show for the “original” extreme weather the extreme weather MB (trumpkin’s link) and the extreme weather tungsten mb both show the 300wsm as in production.

You and @TrumpkinTheDwarf got me looking at the Winchester site. If I were a “rightie,” I think I would have to find myself one of those french walnut Supergrades.

There’s nothing like a beautiful walnut stock on a m70… not the French walnut but I’ve seen a couple RMEF 300wsm supergrades floating around on gunbroker that have convinced me it’s better for my health if I just don’t go window shop anymore.

I think one of these in a McMillan would be money well spent. Especially if McMillan still made the featherweight pattern stock.

Yeah... they're pretty gorgeous.

You are correct, I missed the MB variant. Now to find one in stock....

That’s a good looking rifle. But to me, all rifles look good, some just look better than others.

How about getting one of the Extreme Weathers in 325 WSM on GB and send it to Hart barrels for a new barrel in 300 WSM?

I have no idea what that would entail. Would it be as reliable and accurate as the factory chambering? Magazine feeding issues? Forgive my ignorance, but Hart Barrels isn't even on my radar.
