I have decided on the caliber. So who has experience with these rifles. I have it narrowed down to these and I would like some feedback. Thanks to all

Winchester model 70 hands down the best rifle ever made. Wife says the same about her Browning X bolts. Sooooo..........


Not as bad as I could be, not as good as I should be.

Have 3 model 70's.. Two with the mauser style "claw" extractor and a .223 coyote with the push feed bolt. I like them all. Just something about a walnut stocked model 70. What a rifle should be. imo

Model 70

The only thing I like better is when I build a custom Mauser 98. PLUS, that DISCO looking gold trigger ruins their guns IMO.

And I've had to repair hundreds of their safeties since they were not heat treated correctly...back in the 80's.

I have a few older xtr's and they are terrific shooters. If they had them with detachable magazines they would be the only rifles in my gun room.

If Mauser were still alive Winchester would be paying royalties to them the same as our government did on every 1903 Springfield until the WWI broke out. The Browning is actually substantially more different from the Mauser than the Winchester is. That being said I own a couple of left handed stainless classic model 70 with walnut stocks and the only Browning I own is a 10ga auto lol.

And jmb designed just about as many of Winchester rifles as Winchester did. In fact jmb's first design was sold to Winchester and the Browning family took the eight thousand dollars that Winchester gave them for the 1895 hiwall
and built a factory with it. Browning designed most of the Winchester lever actions. Winchester even bought manufacturing rights to Browning designs that were superior to the comparable Winchester model and never put them into production to avoid the costs of retooling.

Oh, and least we forget John Moses Browning designed the 1911ACP, not Sam Colt.
