Michigans firearm season opens on November 15. I normally use my CVA Optima but have always wanted a nice rifle. Well, my girlfriend wished me an early Merry Christmas today with a Winchester Model 70 (.270). She figured I'd better get it now so I can sight in before the 15th, that way I dont have to wait a whole year to shoot it. Havent shot it yet, but so far I love the gun. Nice looking, light weight. Anyone else ever shoot a Model 70? Thanks.
