If all goes according to plan, I will trade the current 375 up to a real one. Then I have some Remington semi-autos which will likely go down the road for more M70s. My son Harry wants a 308

In a pre 64 M70 the fast majority of 308's were made in the FWT configuration as were the 243. To find a STD grade 308 will be difficult and expensive. I do know where a nice 308 FWT is if your interested.
If your considering a 30-06 the 308 is redundant and visa versa. With the proper bullet and it's placement there isn't an animal that can tell the difference. I prefer the 308 over the 06.

I am a big fan of the 7/08. In a Winchester same ballistic advantages in the 270 lot of M70 270s out there . Having said that sold all my CF Bolt guns except a M1903 30/06 arsenal built sporter and a 721 Remington .222. The 03 is accurate and absolutely reliable. 721 accurate and finicky feeder

This may have been brought up earlier in this thread. I don't recall if you may have mentioned having it or not, but if you don't, I think you'd be served by obtaining a copy of The Rifleman's Rifle by Roger G. Rule. Think of it as the TPS for the Winchester Model 70 1936-1963. |
