[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 650548, member: 5219"] I had had one of the earliest post 64 push feeds. One was the one without a slot and guide for bolt. When I came across three coyotes at close range while doing some walk around varmint hunting I got the first yote then the bolt got bound up and I missed getting a second. Got rid of it immediately. The next time I acquired a push feed model 70 it had the guide/ slot system. It was a 300 win mag westerner. I had it bedded in the walnut stock and it shot 200 gr nosler partitions into three shot groups in the 2s at 100 yds. It eventually became a 300 RUM. The feed rail width is wide enough for RUM cases to pass through without modifications. A wyatt's mag box was added. Really like this setup. Really like Winchester's bolt design allowing an easy disassembly without tools. It was placed into a McMillan hunter stock and it is my #1 LR elk rifle. [/QUOTE]
