My first one was a Model 70 Classic SST. For whatever reason I just couldn’t get it to hold a pattern and the recoil made my teeth hurt.
I sold it and bought a Browning Hells Canyon Speed. With the break it feels like I’m shooting my 243 and without the break recoil steps up to 270 levels. It patterns real well. Maybe it just fits me better.
I did like the looks of the M70, but it just didn’t work out for me.
