I try not to show any favoratism in my M70's as to not have any rifles get hard feelings.
This year and last year my Custom Shop Ultra Grade will be in stand with me on my out of state hunt. Generally I only use a M70 for one season, I will pick one up, work up a load for it, shoot a deer with it and then strip the scope off of it and put it in the safe for years until I remember it's in the back and do it all over again. In years past I've done this with 300H&H, 375H&H (ya it's big for deer but I needed an excuse to take it in the woods) 358Win, 350RemMag (started out as a 358 and someone did a lot of work to make it a 350Mag) 270, 250/3000, 257 Roberts, 243 and maybe a couple I've forgot already.
In all honesty though as much as I like my M70 and other bolt guns if I'm not on a real physical hunt and will be sitting in a tree or a blind it's really hard to beat my FM SCAR17 in 308.
