Raybass: Go with the beautiful, strong, safe and accurate pre-64 Model 70 action!
You won't be disappointed.
Many years ago I sought out a pre-64 Model 70 action that was made the same month I was born (July 1947) and once I found one I had a custom Rifle built on it.
I chose the wonderful and versatile 280 Remington caliber for my build and I could not be happier with what it has done over the years!
I have taken 3 species of Deer with this Rifle along with Antelope, Elk, Black Bear and Mt. Goat!
Soon I hope to bring to bag a Caribou with this Rifle.
I chose a 25" barrel without sights and a McMillan stock.
The pre-64 Model 70 action will hold 6 rounds total of the 30/06, 270 & 280 Remington type cartridges.
I live and Hunt a lot in Grizzly country and this extra coupla cartridges gives me some solace.
I highly recommend the Winchester pre-64 Model 70 action for custom Rifles (I have two others - one in 243 Winchester and another in 240 Weatherby Magnum).
Best of luck with whichever action you choose.
Hold inot the wind
