...I'm 67 and Jack O'Connor was my favorite gun writer, so my last (humm, humm...) rifle had to be Jack's 270 Mod. 70...
I'm 70. And that would have been a likely choice for me, too, as he was a favorite of mine. But I found a .30-06 pre-'64 FWT, and Jack killed a LOT of game with the '06.
But the 7-08 is a most excellent choice to complement his '06's.
