I Got The Itch

[ecu1984]

For probably the last 10 to 15 years I have been hunting with composite stock rifles
Mostly Brownings and Tikka, all great with zero complaints.
I grew up with nice quality wood stock guns, A5 Belgium Brownings, high end double barrels, rifles, etc.
I love a pretty walnut or such wood gun and have the itch for a new deer rifle (picked up another lease yesterday).
I also like lightweight stuff, been shooting the Tikka Superlite for the last few years
I have always wanted a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Pre-64
Their new stuff looks sweet, the Model 70 Featherweight Deluxe comes in 7mm-08
Thinking about ordering it in .270 or 7mm-08.
Also like some Browning Medallion stuff
Any others?

Love my browning x bolt medallion. I bought because I figured why look at an ugly gun while sitting 3 hours in a deer stand. I have composites but it’s my go to for sure. If you like Brownings, don’t think you’ll regret buying it. It is a tad heavier than the composites but nothing that bothers me.

Look up Cooper rifles.

My first bolt rifle was a Model 70 featherweight in .270. It was like my ex-girlfriend, beautiful but would hurt you. It kicked like a pissed off mule.

Crazy to think that none of these have hit the trading post this year. I’ve been wanting to by a nice wooden stocked 7mm-08 for awhile but not enough to buy new.

You want this thing back?

Sako or Cooper. The Sako 85 Bavarian is what you need to get your hands on.

That is sharp.

I do like the new model 70 featherweights a lot, nothing wrong with the pre 64's, push feed, or crf classics either.

Buy a Boyds Laminated Thumbhole Stock for whatever your Favorite Deer Rifle is. These are beautiful, almost a Bolt On change(minus bedding it), and you get out for under $200, got 3-4 I can show you.

I’ve had a new Model 70 Featherweight for a few years now. I like it.
