RJ Renner Model 70 "Old African
Description: WE BEGIN WITH YOUR TIRED OUT MODEL 70... The Model 70 Winchester represents the Mauser System in its ultimate form and is the basis for our Old African Medium Rifle. We begin with your Model 70 and slenderize the stock by reducing the forearm length and slenderizing it along with the buttstock and we add a genuine ebony forearm tip. We install the sling swivel on the barrel and a matching swivel in the buttstock. Then we rebarrel to one of the medium-bore African cartridges such as the 9,3x62 Mauser or the .318 Wesley Richards. The .338-06 and .35 Whelen (12-inch twist) are also fine African cartridges when appropriately loaded.. We also add appropriate sights, either Rigby or Holland & Holland-style to complete that English/African look. It's hard to imagine that removing just the right amount of wood - in just the right places - can transform your heavy, clunky Model 70 into a sleek and slender rifle that seems to float to the shoulder and almost aims itself, but it's true. That is the essence of those Pre-War Mauser, Rigby, and Mannlicher rifles that we love so much and we can provide it for your Model 70. Those who own our Trophy Rifles absolutely love the results and say they are a joy to carry afield. Custom English Walnut is optionally available for the Model 70 Old African Medium Rifle. We can also straighten the bolt handle as found on early Mauser Sporting Rifles and case-color the receiver and jewel the bolt. Additionally we can install the famous McLaughlin Rigby bolt peep sight as an option. Call for specifics on these options. Post-64 Model 70s Some have asked if we work on Post-64 Model 70s and the answer is YES! We will transform your push-feed Post-64 Model 70 into our beautiful Old African Medium Rifle. As a mtter of fact, we have recently introduced a new cartridge designed specifically for those Post-64 magnum rifles with the standard length magazine box and the magnum bolt face. The new cartridge is the .375 Renner Belted and is essentially a shortened version of the legendary African cartridge, the .375 H&H Magnum. Our version is shorter to be able to work through a standard length rifle action and provide all the wonderful design benefits of the H&H round. We also offer a "light" version of the Old African which features our slenderized action and stock and can be rebarreled for a variety of cartridges including the .25-06, 6.5X55, 6,5X57 Mauser, .270 Winchester, 7X57 Mauser, .280 Remington, .30-06 Springfield, and 8X57 or...? Or, we can simply slenderize your existing Model 70, keeping your original barrel and perfoming our slenderizing magic on the stock and refinishing with our all-weather Vintage Finish. The result must be handled to be appreciated. The cost is only $1,395 - far less expensive than a complete custom build.
