Having just purchased one and finding it stellar at the range, I'd have to say that's not a bad choice... But I would rebel against the standard cartridge restriction... They're just so, um, pedestrian... If you're fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.

While it may need a trigger job, once done it's a simple trigger system that won't change and is easy to clean if needed. The scope rings are strong and easy to mount.

Probably 270 but IF I planned to hunt the world over, and needed ammo in a pinch for all game all conditions, I'd have to suck it up and go w/the 1906...Springfield. Pre-Garcia Finnbear in a McMillan stock will do....but I'd probably 'settle' for a SS/Syn Model 75/85...and would spring for an EDGE stock. Leupold 6x in FXII or III ..but could 'settle' for a Leupy FX 4x33 or a Zeiss 4x32

pal Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 11,043 so cal	Well, I picked the current Sako 85 in 6.5X55 because I wanted a quality, highly accurate, and reasonably lightweight rifle in a light-recoiling caliber whose adequacy on a broad range of game has been proven many thousands of times. But I settled for this: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=240822906 a Sako 75 in .260Rem, 'cause it was close enough, the ballistics nearly identical, and for the all-weather materials...and the price was right.

Talley LW lows and run bullets from 85 gr to 160 gr. Lower budget would be Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 270 Win and the same componets. JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H
