    Re: Winchester mod 70 Extreme Weather thoughts

    Just having mine turned into a.284. Good solid platform a little heavier than what they say on the website but i don mind that. Mine was a bit crooked i just found out but by all other accounts theyre absolute tack drivers. Youd have to go up to a sendero to get the same features from anyone else. Id buy amother no worries. Duno bout the caliber thougj:eek:

    They look very nice with bell and carlson stock and fluted barrel. What contour is the barrel? Whats the build quality like?

    Yes I think they look like the business. I've got mod 70 lightweight in 308 already and its a tack driver. Im not keen on the sendero's, would love to get my hands on mod 70 laredo. Still not sold on the 300 wsm yet tho.

    They are well built, finish of the inside an out, heavy action but much same as the older tikkas m595 695 etc with the bigger flat bottom.
