Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles The perfect big game hunting rifle?

Stainless Model 70 Classic, G-prefix/five-digit serial number, factory 24” barrel, excellent trigger, pillar bedded into a Bansner stock. Cheap Winchester 180-grain ammo is good for about 1.5 MOA and clocks exactly 2,700 fps at the muzzle, which is a nice touch. Haven’t had time to work up a load yet, but I’ll likely start with 180-grain Partitions when that day comes.

Weight as shown is 8.23 pounds. I’ll probably swap the variable for a Leupold 4x scope in Weaver rings as on Brad’s 308 for any hunts, so it will be field ready at just under 8 pounds. Balance is just about perfect, which is the ONLY reason I haven’t cut the barrel to 22” yet.
