Model 70 Classic Compact

[GAscott]

I like the looks and feel of the Winchester Model 70 Classic Compact in 7mm-08......, anybody got one of these? What about the recoil of the 7mm-08 in such a light rifle (around 6 pounds with 20 inch barrel). Looks to be around the same size as rhe Remington 7. I got the itch for a compact bolt in 7mm-08 - just looking for something different for a change, mostly for hunting eastern whitetails down here in Georgia or up in Pennsylvania.

In my opinion the model 70 rifle is the finest rifle ever made.

In 7-08 it' s a magnificient choice.......put a Luepold compact scope on it and it' ll put a lot of venison on the table for you.

That is a perfect whitetail rifle.

I just bought a model 70 featherweight classic in 6.5X55 and was surprised how little recoil it has .I expected more recoil in such a light rifle .
