Like to hear some range reports once you get it worked out. I may skip the new 70 and find an old 70 in 7WSM and go "Faux Extreme"
Look up an old post of mine. It's very detailed and even shows some of my reload data. I think the post was titled "Winchester 70 Review".
I've been waiting for this rifle for a very long time. I still think for the money there isn't a better factory rifle out there for the average hunter. Very accurate, light, excellent fit and finish, CRF etc.... The trigger on the other hand, the brain child of Browning, is a total turd.
They are egotistical morons for changing the trigger. Either that or lead by the b@lls by lawyers.
