traded off the 300win for a 3006

[Evan03]

after a few times at the range and doing some minor varmiting with the 300win i decided it wasnt my style of rifle.

i knnew the gunshop in town had 3006 in a ruger m77 mkII, stainless Ibeam synthetic stock. ive actualy had two of these rifles identical to this in the past. and liked them alot. they shot well and recoil is alittle less than the 300win in package that weighs a pound less.

the 3006 is already getn revamped, ive never cared for rugers shiny stanless action and barrel and always wanted to sand blast the shine away.

thats what ive been doing this evening. action barrel rings and bolt handle are all a dull egshel lookin almost grey. i sandblasted then rubbed everything down with triple ought steel well to close the pores so finger oils and dirt dont stick to the finish so bad.

finish looks good. almost like cooper rifles eggshel finish but more grey. the action, floor plate and bolt are all in the dishwasher. lol thats right im washing it in the dishwasher. but i also hit it with the pressure washer before tosin it all in the dishwasher.

ounce the washers done running ill yank the bolt apart and scrub out the bore. then toss the rings and the 3-9 lupy on it. and shes good to go to do some paper plinking and varmiting.

ill try and get some pics of the finished product.

later
