Here is a recently purchased Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in .308 Win with a well proven Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42 off my main light rifle.
Ran twenty rounds through it yesterday dialing in the scope followed by a thorough cleaning, then put five fouling shots through it. Here is the cold bore shot from today with Barnes 130 TTSX factory ammo. The magazine spring seems a bit weak, but it feeds fine. No other issues. It was very quick and easy to dial in.
I am hard pressed to do better with any of my custom rifles with handloads.
I received a 1949 Model 70 in .270 from a relative when I was a boy. It was my only rifle for many, many years. This new Model 70 is a very nice rifle and the accuracy leaves my old one in the rear view mirror.
