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

The 700 Remington hasn't even made an appearance yet!
It has now. Make mine a 700 KS.

I'm not asking cartridge here. 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.

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

Model 70. Have owned just about all the time line variations
Have some other brands that are more accurate and would not like giving them up, but if forced to choose it would be a 70.

The 700 Remington hasn't even made an appearance yet! Winchester 70 is running away with this. It goes to show what knowledgable shooters trust. Or, Rem 700 owners are smart enough not to participate in silly threads such as this.

Mauser. 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.

While I own others, they don't get much play time when there's a Savage 99 to be had.

The SS Classic model 70's are probably the best all around rifle ever made.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
