RE: Help me decide on a new 270
 

I would personally go with the model 70. I have never had a browning, but all my rifles i used for hunting have had wooden stocks and i have never really dinged them on anything.

Not that I'm saying that it is superior to Winchester but I like the looks of the A-bolt, specially the stainless with the wooden stock (I can't remember the model name right now).

I think both are very good rifles.
