Perhaps it's my 99F in .358 that I got in 1966. It was perfect for the forests in VT where I had just bought a hunting camp.

That rifle is not optimum these days as I am hunting in more open land now.

The rifle that's on my mind now is the M70 action'd custom that I got last summer in .300 WM. I did not pay a lot for it.

I have shot it some and so far I have not got it just right.

It's too cold now for testing and other rifles have been ready but I just looked at it again tonight. I like it's stock and action!

The loads ready for the range are 165 and 168's over H4350. So far I got 2" two shot groups at 200 yds. I could not get 150's to shoot really well last fall but after just looking at the records I will try 150's again.
