[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 1234780, member: 22030"] I just got a slightly modified lightweight 70 from Rifles Inc. I went with a #3 fluted barrel instead of his standard lighter contour, Jewell trigger, and an extended mag box. I'm not a dedicated long range hunter I get as close as I can. I went with a Swaro Z5 3.5-18x scope with the 4W reticle and have a custom BT also. I'm running 180gr Accubonds at 2950fps. I haven't shot it past 550yds yet but have had it out twice shooting my gong to that distance. Using sandbags on the truck hood (and an old Carhardt under the barrel with the brake to protect the truck paint) I have had no trouble hitting in various winds out to that distance. I shoot a 10" gong and put a fresh spray paint job on it each trip so I can see my bullet impacts. They show my rifle on their site, the second one under pics last time I checked. It has the burnt bronze cerakote and brown camo stock. I'm very pleased with the rifle. With the Swaro in Talley rings but without sling/ammo the rifle weighs 7lbs 4oz. It will be my elk rifle from now on. [/QUOTE]
