About 1978 I got my first rifle of my own, instead of using Dad's model 14 in 30 Rem. It was a Win 670 in 30-06.

I put a steel tube Weaver V7 2-7x32 on it and killed tons of stuff from gophers to deer and an elk.

I later thought I "needed" more X's. So I bought a Burris FF 4-12x40, and killed a bunch more stuff. But the rifle was actually much better balanced with that little Weaver on top.

I have an old Redfield 3-9 Wideview accu-trac coming in. Probably built prior to 1984 that would be a perfect fit on a nostalgic sporter '06 project. But I do not intend to turn loose of it soon.
