If you are right handed, find a Pre-64 featherweight .30-06 in good condition. Drop it into a McMillan Hunter Edge stock. Go kill stuff, mice to moose to brown bear...
This is where I ended up, basically. I found a nice enough p64 in .270, put it in a McMillan I had on hand, put a z3 on it and I'm about done. Glass bedding and I will be all done. My LGS builds some amazing custom rifles but after looking at the options I just couldn't see the advantage for me. YMMV
It's as simple at this right here^^^
Someone was saying pre 64 model 70's aren't accurate. That guy doesn't have much experience with them:
Sometimes all we can do is shake our heads and move on...
My fwt 30-06, which is glass bedded in its original stock, and the trigger fine tuned is capable of fine accuracy as well:
My newest 270 fwt shows some damn fine promise:
Shoots 1 moa with factory ammo:
And sub moa (for 3 shots) out to 400 yards with blunt low bc pills:
When I get some more time and when it cools down a bit, I'll work up some loads for this new 270 and see how well it really shoots. Its brother, that I picked up on the same day, shoots a thrown together load pretty well:
But hey, old model 70's don't shoot well do they? Right!
