My favorite was a Winchester model 70 in .264 win mag. Never acquired one, being young I never paid much attention to over bore or barrel life. I was more worried about velocities. I had a second favorite, which was the .243 Winchester. My first rifle was a 30-06 and its my favorite that's in my current stable. I have a 30-06, .243, .223(AR), 22-250, and a .17 Winchester super Mag. My current wish is a .338 lapua or a 1-9 twist 30-378 Wby, just not sure which to build.
