Just getting an itch to go with a classic blued action, maybe controlled round fed.
What do you say?

I am in favor of one of three schools of thought, in no particular order....

but my answer for myself, ( which I have two of).. and an action for the third..

1. Model 70
2. 1917 Enfield
3. 1903 Springfield..

beyond that, they are imitations...

Nice blued action and you control the feeding. Impossible to double feed.

What will the rifle be used for? Type of hunting?

I would however choose this for general hunting in 30-06. The actions are really nice and I would take one before a 202 any day.

My choice would be one of two,,,as follows.
1) The Rifleman's Rifle: M70
if not that one...then the "modern classic".
2) Weatherby
Just my opinion.
