Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles New Winchester 70 Extreme Weather SS .308

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 totally agree. Hopefully I'll have a range report on my EW .308 this next weekend as well.

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.

Excellent! Good luck.....Hb

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. 😔

Someone around here has one in an Edge McMillan and it's bad ass....

Oh yes it is......Hb

And a 270 in a FWT pattern. I'd take either myself.


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!!

Sounds like a hell of a rifle to Me 16....😁....Hb

Excellent! It's a good combination, I think.

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......

Lmao! That is too damn funny!....Hb

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

2 Partitions and a Fusion




Don't know why I've hated on this rifle for years. I've killed more with it than anything. Now she's my honey bunny.....

She is most certainly a shooter......Hb

She's had her days. Only a dumbass would chase his tail with a bunch of other rigs, scopes, and crap to try and re-invent the wheel.

Oh wait.......that was me.

At least now you have had your "awakening" and see her clearly for what she is...better late than never 😁......Hb
