Browning x bolt or Winchester mod 70

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

I have a new x bolt in 300 win mag , and it's very accurate

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

I've got one of each. Prefer the model 70.

I have both and they both are great guns, except one is considerably less money !

JMB never designed a turn bolt. Just saying.

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

sorry I don't know what that means . Thank you

John Moses Browning

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.

John---ye olde gunsmith

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.

I sure like my Browning a bolt medallion

I like my Browning stainless stalker.

Pretty partial to my model 70.

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.

Mod 70 is what I was leaning towards

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.

browning. hate that goofy Winchester safety.

Which one fits you best?

Browning

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.

awkward position with my thumb.have to lift my hand off the rifle to operate it.remington 700 is hard for me also.no problem with the browning.small hands I figure.

Have both, pleased with both. Did put a Jewell trigger in my Mod 70.

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

or better yet is www.gunsamerica.com for shops all over the US.

I have a MOD 70 pre 64 06 love that gun.

Obviously both are great in their own regards. I also own a few of both makes, in magnums and long action clamberings. The stock on the Brownings absolutely beat the tar out of me at the range. This annoyance is not notable in the field though.
For the Winnie, it has no shortcomings, IMO.

I have a browning x-bolt eclipse varmint and I like everything about that gun! It's so accurate and I think the best part is the super feather trigger that browning put in there from the factory. It's the best factory trigger I have ever had

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.
