A couple of years ago my grandson wanted to go deer hunting but needed a rifle. I had several left over from years of collecting so I picked a 1955 vintage Winchester Model 70 30/06 and put a good scope on it. We went to a nearby club with a good bench rest range with 8 benches. Only one bench was open, the rest were taken with black rifles. After we set up the 70 and shot a few rounds one guy with an AR15 came over and asked "isn't that a model 70?" He wanted to look at it and told grandson that he had an "awesome" rifle. Made my day. Charlie Price
