This one is a 6MM, only one I am missing is the .280.

Want one of those in .308 with the basketweave stock.

I believe the 6mm is the rarest of them all.

I have the .308 in this configuration. I know they exist, but I am not sure if I have ever seen one.

I picked this one up at an auction last year. For some reason the .280 has eluded me though. I can find them on Gunbroker, but people pay horrendous money for them there.

Mine too. Remington Woodmaster 742 Win .308. I believe mine is a 1967. Mowed them down Sunday afternoon and Monday. I should have snapped a pic of just the work horse and pigs but my ugly mug is in the photos...Mine looks just like OP with the wood checking forearm and stock but does not have the extended butt softner LOL. Thought many times about upgrading scope but why mess with a classic old Bushnell 3x9 Banner.

Nice! All mine have period correct scopes. Mostly the Redfield wideview.

Cool rifle and that hog looks like he has some Russian genetics.
