I liked the EW: It was a great rifle, but my pre 64's felt better to me. They have/had character and soul. I'd take this rifle over any EW everyday of the week and twice on sunday: And for some reason, I liked this one better than the EW above as well. Both 30-06, but one just had more soul, and it shoots better to boot.... Win win...: Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

The EW's that I have went thru a slight change before they became tier one guns on the same level as the previously mention models. I changed out the trigger spring to an Ernie and it now breaks at 3# on the money. It could be adjusted lower, but these are hunting tools and the 3# is what I like. I also have a McMillan Edge on order. To me the original stock just did not feel right. Others love the original stock. The changes I mention are strictly based on my person preference.

Shoots EVERYTHING I've fed it very well. I've had rifles that shot certain loads well, but it doesn't seem to matter with this one. It is my go-to rifle. Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Both of mine are 308 Win. that will have PT& G Oberndorf aluminum bottom metal with a graphite magazine follower. Finished it ought to come in around 7.8# with a 4.5x14 Conquest. The second one will be the same but with a 3x9 Conquest with a #4 reticle. Just waiting on McMillan. I'll have both of your pictures covered as one stock is black and the other brown with specks and a red pad. Last edited by lynntelk; 10/07/15.
