As long as the quality build is there assembled in Portugal means zero to me, some of the best built guns I have ever seen were made in Miroku Japan.... I will have a non-fanboy range report on the EW sometime this week.......Hb

I don’t care one bit about the Portugal stamp, my EW 30-06 is an excellent shooter, well built, well finished, feels good, shoots great. That’s what I care about.

I have an older 308 ew made in sc. It's a quality rifle that's never disappointed. Killed my elk last year at 266yds with 180gr factory nosler partitions. I'm betting you newer ew will meet your needs. Good hunting.

The only rifle I regret selling is my Extreme Weather in .308 here on the Campfire. It shot most everything MOA or better. I put the same scope on mine that you have. 😔

But, alas....the old PF M70 270, 9 stocks later, lord knows how many scopes, tin canned shimmed rear base hand me down, jimmyphucked 4# trigger job, blueing worn off the crown, 8+ lb, factory ammo shooting POS wins every time.

Forgot to mention the 3x9 VXIIc I nabbed off my brother somewhere around the late 80's that's never missed a beat. Ha!!

One of the rifles I regret selling the most was a push-feed M70 in .270 that my Dad bought me when I was 12. It was my first rifle, and it shot lights out. Killed a few deer and three antelope with it, then someone convinced me that it was inferior because it wasn't a controlled-round feed, so because I was stupid, I sold it.

Pre 64 logic.....
Forgot to mention the rear bases on mine are 8-40, front 6-48.
Tapped by hand, of course......

I think the Winchester 70 push feed is a better design than the Remington 700 👍....The Mod 70 has a better factory extractor.....Hb
