Winchester Model 70 Classic Laredo LRH

Folks,
I have found a new Laredo in .300 Win Mag. I really like the looks of this rifle and believe it has potential. I have been shooting Sendero's and VS for years. Can this rifle possible compare accuracy wise? Anybody out there got one? Is it worth the $599.99 price tag? Please advise. Thanks in advance. JohnnyK.

My Laredo is very accurate. My friend weren't so lucky. He rebarreled his to 300 Ultra Mag.

Re: Winchester Model 70 Classic Laredo LRH

I have one in 7mm Rem Mag. It shoots very good with the 140's or 160's my best gruops are under 1.00 inch with out much work. I like the stock alot. All I have done to it is clean and shoot. It is a bear to carry thru the woods though.
You shoud have good luck with yours

22 Mag

I have owned and shot out two winchester lerados in 300 wm. Both shot great. I also worked with a 7mm rem mag that shot under 1 moa.

I have a Laredo in 7mm stw mine is the plain barrel without the Boss system it will shoot 3/4"@100 most of the time with Federal factory loads the 150 Nosler solidbase I havent had time to work up any loads but I dont think that is bad for a factory rifle. chad
