One? Model 70. But I do like 700s, Mausers, and Tikkas.

I don't care if you say "I'd take a Winchester 70 in every cartridge they made". I just want to know if you could only own one model of rifle which it would be? Winchester Model 70 SS FW's and Classics from the 90's. Even over the Kimber Montana's which I really like. The older Model 70 trigger is the clincher for me.

I really like the Ruger M77, too. But I think the M70 edges it out. One or the other, though.

I happen to like the early ones from about 59-63 built by FN. The early Brownings are nice. My custom stocked '59 24" FN in .30-06 would be hard to improve on.

Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
