The model 70 is god amongst rifles for me

Has anyone mentioned putting top notch glass on top? Chicken do not go cheapie on the scope
Posted on 10/26/12 at 2:02 pm to BarDTiger81
Model 70 is to rifles what 1911 is to pistols

How much is the one you mentioned to him?
Posted on 10/26/12 at 2:06 pm to upgrade
.308 or .30-06
They don't make them in 6.5x55 anymore
BarD brought up a good point. Don't skimp on the scope chicken! You can get a good scope for $200, You can get a great one for $500, and you can completely destroy your bank account on some hellacious rangfinding night vision autopilot bluetooth thing.
A win M70 featherweight in .30-06 with a leupold VX-III sitting on top is the ULTIMATE deer rifle. Everybody else is wrong.

You might be over analyzing this for your first rifle. Just saying

I have one and I can't wait to swap it out for a leupold. It isn't worth a shite compared to my $200 leupolds.

Downshift, KingRanch I hate to burst yalls bubbles, I like and respect the model 70, but Big Green surpassed them in '64.
As far as scopes go I will be a Leupold guy until I die, or production moves overseas.
And why put a 50mm scope on a Featherweight rifle.
