Since 1973 every head of big game I have ever harvested has been taken with 1950's vintage Winchester M/70's. Last season it was my 1953 vintage .30-06 FW that did the honors. Prior to the M/70's it was a pre'64 M/88 .308, took my biggest buck ever with that rifle. For many seasons I wore traditional Woolrich parka and pants and L.L. Bean boots.
