http://www.hallowellco.com/goudy%20+%20Heilmann%203006.htmElegant, the wood isn't so flashy that it overpowers the rifle as a whole. Am I the only one who prefers 23" barrels on non-magnums? I'd love to own this one.

I prefer 22" tubes on my 30-06's. I thought I had the "perfect" pre 64 30-06...Fwt that shoots lights out. What more does a guy need?????
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My friend, every model 70 aficionado needs at least one Goudy stocked rifle.
Just ask Turp!

Handsome, but not perfect at 8lbs 12 ounces.

Just ask Turp! True. I'm actually holding out for just the right Biesen rifle though..

8lbs scoped would be an improvement, so perhaps the almost perfect .30-06?
BSA. ...there's already a Biesen in the safe. .270 naturally.

I like women a little on the stout side. Doesn't mean I want to carry them around.

Handsome to look at, but not perfect to hunt with at 8lbs 12 ounces. Flatlanders can't pack what the mountain boys can it seems. It is a weak generation that can't carry a rifle unless it is under 7 pounds...

It is a weak generation that can't carry a rifle unless it is under 7 pounds... I've seen your Elk hot spot in a recent thread. You would have to get in shape to hunt Deer here in the Pa flatlands. Not so sure you could keep up or think 8-12 is all that great.

Up untill a couple years ago perfect to me was a 30-06 target in a low comb sporter stock.I would think that was a 10 lb rig. At 60 the std is perfect to me, Im having a fwt in 06 bedded maybe that will be 'perfect' at 65. I know this I hold a heavy gun better freehanded and recoil is not an issue. I have shot guns that were to lite for the amount of recoil generated. I guess what Im trying to say is your perfect may not be my perfect. very best WinPoor

No doubt ones perfect is not the others. However, for FWIW I carried a standard Mod 70 for more than a few years, then switched to a FWT. Carried a standard in fact on a Mountain Goat hunt. Then thru the fire I came across Nula and Kimber rifles and said let us see what all the fuss is about. The lights came on. Carried one of them also on another Mountain Goat hunt-at 65-and the light shined brighter still. The best weight in my opinion for all-round use would be around 7 or a little more, but definitely not 8-12. Does a little heavier hold steadier freehand? Can't argue with that, but for some reason as the day wears on even those light rifles steady up a little after you have had them in your hands all day. Just finished loading the truck for a few days in the "flatlands" of West Virginia and one of the Nula's is making the trip for a good reason. Of course I'm just a little squirt compared to some of those big rugged mountain boys out west and need all the help I can get. Take care and enjoy your Winchesters.
