RE: Santa Clause came early
I have a model 70 270 and i love it so far other then my 7mm mag i have not found a gun that seems to get the job done without ruining any meat. It has a smooth action and mine has a quite safety. Hopefully you get a nice buck with it this year, because you will fall in love with the gun. Just don't skimp on the scope if you are getting one, i would suggest a leupold VX-III.
