I shot about 125 rounds through it and a few through the .270. We had a great time.
You better hurry with that Model 70! Since they aren't making them anymore, they have become pretty much non existent on the gun store shelves.

Yeah thats what I've been reading. Those Remingtons still look pretty nice. I think I might look those over.

Since accuracy isn't an issue you don't have to get a Rem 700 you can get a Win. 70 :D

Model 70, I actually cannot believe that you are recommending anything other than the .270. I figured you would have been on here a while ago put in some info on the .270.

Did you eventually buy a .308? We all have a little sentimental place in our hearts for the first rifle we ever buy, and the corresponding cartridge. For instance, I love my Ruger 77MKII and the .300 Win Mag because it is my first rifle.

nope, never bought a .308 but instead am opting for a win model 94 trapper in .44 mag for my bear hunts. last season taught me a few things.
