Input wanted from owners of new production Model 70 Safari Express rifles

If I was in the market, I would not hesitate for a nano second on buying a new Winchester Model 70. Love to have a have a Super Grade in .270 or .280.
I have a Super Grade in 300Win Mag,,another great shooter
 
Ok I think I’m gonna go with this. I was also looking at the Sako rifles but I much prefer the 3-position safety. Slightly shortening the barrel may balance abit better and shed some of the weight.
 
I've been looking at a .416 Model 70 lately. I know I want it, but my ingrained cheapness is keeping me from pulling the trigger. They seem like a great value.
 
Just got a new M70 Super Grade Maple in 270
 
How does it shoot? Pics??
Shoots great. Under 1 inch with factory Federal 130gr. And under an inch with 130 gr. Partitions handloads. Will have to send pics later as I am not close to the gun. Pics aren't really fair as this high grade maple changes pattern every time the light hits it differently

I picked one up off a gentleman on this site and I love it. It's my first foray into larger caliber rifles, but it's been fun!

Living life like a lion for 1 day is better than living life like a jackal for 100 years.
