[QUOTE="Oldtime Shooter13, post: 3089480, member: 109503"] I have a first year USA Repeating Arms Winchester M-70 Featherweight 20” barrel 308 Winchester. Oddball rifle with long action, but shoots most any 150, 165 and 168 grain with little ragged 3 shot groups. I have this rifle in years because for some reason it kicks like a mule and is not pleasant to shoot off any bench. Shooting at game I don’t notice the recoil, but resting on a bench Ouch! If you have ever shot a Remington 600 in 308, well this rifle is just as bad. I had change the scope on this rifle and was at the range with a friend sighting in the rifle. 5 shots had it where I wanted it. About the third shot I told him I was about done with that punishment. He said “Ooh it’s just a 308 quit being a candy @ss”! He sat behind it for one shot and said “Your Not Kidding, this thing is Brutal”! But, for a hunting rifle I know anything within 600 yards is dead. [/QUOTE]
