[QUOTE="nietzky, post: 425874, member: 26953"] I own Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather in 30 06 with 22 inch, fluted barell. I put on it Sightron Big Blue Sky scope 4x10x50 and took it to a range for a test. I shot with Hornady, Remington, Winchester and Federal ammo. At 100 yards, shooting from Coldwell rest bench, I was able to get 1.1 inch grouping using Federal PowerShock 150 grain ammo. Remington CoreLock 180 grain ammo grouped at 1.3 inch at 100 yards. Although there are bolt action rifles that are more accurate than M70, Weatherby Sub-Moa being one of them, Model 70 is more dependable while hunting dangerous game. You don't want to take any chances when hunting a bear, a wounded buck or Russian boars. Anyway I highly recommned this rifle. It is very light, fits great, and it has a nice trigger. It is balanced and is well made.....I was considering Remington 700 but I was glad I went with Winchester instead.:cool: -a hunter from NY [/QUOTE]
