Seeing as how my goal is to make safe handling and proficiency with the Winchester Model 70 second nature, I would go with the Model 70, probably in .375H&H magnum, Warne or Burris Extreme Tactical two piece bases, and swap between an Aimpoint H2 (to keep the loading port open) and a Leupold 1.5-5x20mm scope in QRW rings depending on what I expected to be doing that day. Both optics would back each other up if one failed.
That has been my goal also. Have thousands of rounds through my various Model 70's.
My "DG" rifles are set up with Warnes bases, QD rings with back up scopes and iron sights.
