Remember reading a Guns&Ammo a few to 10 years ago in which they were testing a model 70, 30-06 (Sporter), I believe. They had it loaded up with 168MKs, consistant 1/2" groups @100yds., Can't remember if they were 5 shot groups, though I think they were. Winchesters shoot fine, mine does, anyway. When I try out the 168AMAXs and MKs I've got waiting downstairs, then we'll really know if it shoots, good. I'm betting it does. JAG
