[QUOTE="scotsgun, post: 385585, member: 13278"] Guys, Your opinions please. I'm seeking a replacement workhorse rifle that will generally be used and abused in dense Scottish woodland for deer stalking. Now reliability and dependability are more important than any fancy new hot calibres so i've decided on a .270 win. I've sourced two rifles and would value your opinion: 1. I can pick up a basic new Savage 111. Black plastic stock, blued metal and that's about it. Mods will include replacing the stock, fitting a moderator and fitting a decent Zeiss scope. 2. Second option in a second hand Winchester 70 Featherweight that has seen very little use. It's a little bit cheaper than the savage, but not enough to matter. Mods will include replacing the stock, fitting a moderator and Zeiss scope. pics of the Winchester are below: [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c24/ScotsGun/CZ%20527/100314162349779-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c24/ScotsGun/CZ%20527/100314162349779-2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c24/ScotsGun/CZ%20527/100314162349779-3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c24/ScotsGun/CZ%20527/100314162349779-5.jpg[/IMG] So, which would you choose???
