I have a Model 70 with a B&C stock that only weights 8LB 2OZ with a Leupold 3X9 in talley steel mounts, so not really a heavy rifle, settles nicely in your hand when its time to shoot. MOA shooter, with Nosler 210 BT's or 225 Partitions. ( If they don't crack the MOA mark they go away.) Haven't really shot much game with it over the last 30 years, but the deer, elk, and antelope shot with it were DRT. There was less meat damage them with the 270 class rifles. Never really noticed the recoil that much, but I was young and tough. I don't need that much HP these days but it hit hard and shot flat enough to really be an all around North America rifle. A lot more rifle than the beloved 9.3 X 62!
