He would have flipped out at what we call "custom" rifles today. Right on Bob. For my money that right there is perhaps the best post in this thread on the subject.

I could see him using a FN Model 70 Supergrade in 270. Possibly their Safari model in 375 H&H for African use.

I think he�d be disappointed with the cost cutting measures of modern manufacture. Ever since the auto industry dropped the vent window, and Garcia dropped Bofor�s Steel, everything�s gone to hell.

I second the vent window as being one of the great losses.

Im going to say A Kimber 84 select. 338Federal. 2.5-8x36 VX3 in talleys. Turner sadlle sling and 210's zero'd for 150.
Nah, he'd go 8400 in 7 WSM or 300 WSM!

![[Linked Image]](http://www.jack-oconnor.org/images/270rifle_extralarge.jpg) The rifle features a pre-64 model 70 action, and Biesen floorplate and trigger guard. Stocked in French Walnut with ebony forend tip and checker in Fleur de lis pattern, 29 lines per inch. The Biesen trap door butt plate and pistol grip cap are engraved with Jack�s Pilot Mountain Dall Sheep. The rifle is complete with a Leupold VXIII 4x scope, bases and rings by Leupold.

The question was what would JOC choose? I believe that would be a new FN Model 70 in .270 Winchester which is a much better rifle than anything Winchester ever produced in the past. The new Remington 700s are still the most accurate production rifles in the world. That is unlikely to change. The new FN rifles are not better, why do you make such uniformed statements. I am inclined to believe you are an imbecile. Imbecile? Maybe a Troll? He's special, no doubt. Just not sure of the diagnosis. DF Another bazinga!!!

I'm jealous of Larry, one of the lucky that has actually handled one JOC's 270's. That looks like No. 2 but I could be mistaken. Thanks for the pics...a lot of stories to be told by the usage shown on that beauty. Sure is a big grin on his face, holding that rifle, like he knows something we don't. From the wear on the Leupold and rings, that gun has been used a good bit. Sure is a nice one. You don't think he'd taunt us and not come clean with the "rest of the story", do you?? DF Scratches? Why it's blasphemy to do that to a custom "hunting" rifle. How dare him build something like that and then actually use it for what it was made for. Jack must have been a little Loony....

The FN Model 70 Winchester is actually a fairly accurate rifle. That's what makes it better than anything Winchester ever produced.

JOC killed some nice sheep. Sure wish Steelhead would oblige us and post pics of the sheep that he has killed, seeing as that he seeks to disparage JOC every chance he gets.

Dont be so hard on Steelie... Having a head that inflated AND firmly stuck up your rectum probably has a lot to do with his disposition.

He would walk right past the 270's and pick up a 280. Even Jack O'Connor admitted the 280 was a better cartridge.

Can't speak for Steelie and don't personally have anything against Mr. O'Connor, but I didn't give a schit what rifle he used when he was alive either. He just wrote about rifles. He ain't Ronald Reagan. JM

What does the fact that someone has successfully hunted a particular animal have to do with another individual having to care what rifle they used to do so? Or what rifle they would use to do so today? Please continue.

Interesting to read some of the thoughts people try to put in a dead mans head.
