Alright, so I'm looking around for something 6.5ish for a good friend of mine on gunsamerica when something really catches my eye. Hmm, that looks to be a M70 Super Grade in 6mm Remington at a price under one of the newer South Carolina guns. Did I mention it includes a Burris Fullfield 3x9 and bases/rings? Last I recall, Winchester never made a SG in 6mm Rem so that would mean that this has a custom barrel, right? Umm, that trigger looks awful shiny, almost like one of the Timney units. Hmm, it says here that the rifle is a "Scherz Custom." Better Google this fellow Scherz. Well, low and behold Mr. Scherz just happens to own Gila River Tactical which specializes in very accurate rifles and recently moved from AZ to ID. At this point I'm thinking I better call the shop that's selling this rifle. Well, it turns out that it is a custom barrel and that the action has been blueprinted, the stock has been glass and pillar bedded and that it is in fact a Timney trigger. Also, it shot very well in the store's test tunnel. Alright, I just happened to have recently sold a Lazzeroni Firebird to a pal that I had built many moons ago in college, so I make the plea to mama that this would actually keep me at a zero net gain in the rifle department. In fact, I sound like an insurance salesmen and explain to her that "At this price, I can't afford not to!" She relents I make the call and will give 'em the FFL info on Monday. This is the first Monday in a very long time that I've looked forward to! I'm a sucker for good deals and Super Grade M70s.
