I was hoping the weight would be in that area. I think I'll keep the stock on it, may have it repainted and bedded but its a keeper. I liked the description of the stock. Been wanting another Model 70 XTR with that stock. Thanks for the weights, I may sell the Remmy Mountain Rifle in 270 and pick up a 2.5-8 VX3 for the rifle or just try to find an older VariX III for it.

JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H
