browning. hate that goofy Winchester safety. I hear a lot of guys complain about the three-position safety. What don't you like about it? I have no trouble operating the one on my old 1963 M70.
Eh...wot?

I would get on gun broker and try to find a mod 70 that was made in New Haven. Seems like things keep getting cheaper as in cheaply made these days. The ones made in the south might be good, not sure. Never owned a browning. Jmo

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.
Osky I still have nightmares about the mod 70 XTR that I had. Probably the only gun I have never, at some point, wished I had back that I have sold.
