I have become spoiled with my Tikka's trigger and my m700 TriggerTech triggers. Am realizing I have not hunted with my ole m70 friend since 2010, so I may use it this season for nostalgic pleasure.
It is a pushfeed M70 with Benchmark barrel and it is calling me. It seems to be saying try me with .270 Sierra game changer tipped 140 bullets.

With what projectile? Front heavy for good penetration, or light for long range!

I started off with an 30-06 in husky 640, then 300 wsm in model 70, then Model 70 in 338 win mag using 225 A-bombs, then 300 weatherby in a model 70 using 180 hornady btsp.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

It'll be a Model 70 with a Benchmark barrel. Either a 6.5-06 AI or a 270 wsm or maybe the .264 Win. I don't worry about overlap amongst my favorite rifles.
What would Porter Rockwell do?

Also may take out a Stevens .30-30 my dad used for years. I hunted with it once when I was 16 but never killed a deer with it.

Marlin lever gun in .375 winchester and a Ruger #3 .44 mag as they both meet straight wall cartridge rules. Have enough tags they should both get a good workout.
Going to try and get a coyote with the savage 99 in 30/30A.I. just because it sounds fun.

I drew an archery bull moose tag, so the only gun going to the field with me this year is a Mossberg O/U 28 gauge for grouse and Remington 870 12 gauge for ducks.

For the last 4+ decades it's been predominantly Rem 700 30-06, Browning A Bolt .308, and occasionally a Sako L579 .243 and Marlin .35 Remington. This year it will be a Ruger M77/44.

I try to be fair to all of my rifles, so I use them in a rotation of sorts. I hope I get my Nosler 6 Creed back from Nosler in time to get it into the rotation.
Ruger UL257 Roberts. Savage LWH 223. Traditions 44 Magnum. I won't put my CA Mesa 6.5 PRC into the stand hunting rotation. It'll likely stay a safe queen through the season.
