My first was a Model 70 XTR 7mm Rem Mag Blued/plastic stock. Had a plain old 4x Redfield on it forever. I took my first moose, caribou, black bear and a pile of deer with it. Once I started elk hunting it hammered my first few elk as well. I ended up running a 7mm Mashburn reamer into it at the nudging of of BobinNH and then proceeded to kill a bunch more elk. My good buddy has it now but it’ll come home when he is done with it. Probably getting time for a rebarrel. Early on I used a pile of H870 and 140 Partitions. Shot woodchucks all summer and anything else that would hold still.
