erich Campfire Tracker Joined: May 2002 Posts: 4,093 Likes: 2 WA to NM	My coyote calling partner has a Leupold 2.5-8 on his Featherweight 22-250 and loves it. When I gave my dad a Featherweight in 270 it was wearing a Japan built Tasco 2-7, he killed a lot of deer up in northern WI with it. My Model 70 222 Rem calling rifle wore a Meopta 1.5-6x40ish never felt the need for mor than that and my old Model 70 in 7mm RM did just fine in northern MN with a 1-4x20mm. With the new 2-12x40ish scopes I'd look hard at one, I just equipped my now 20P calling rifle with one and have another in a box waiting for a barrel and action to arrive, pretty much the best of both worlds. After the first shot the rest are just noise. Make mine a Minaska Heaven has walls and rules, H-ll has open borders

What scope would you put on this to keep it svelte????? Talley l/w rings of course. For a M70/.270 Win.? Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36mm in Talley Lightweight 1 inch, M70/Montana Model 1999, Extra Low mounts... GR

There is zero ways to hell that you own such a small pew-pew. Try again, and this time lean into the 460 Wby Mag.
