[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 349563, member: 307"] I used to be a "Remington Only" kinda' guy but that has changed. J E was right, sometimes you get a shooter. I've owned several Remington's through the years and they have all shot well, with minor adjustments. One or two, extremely well. Then I got my first taste of those Savages, Wow! what fine shooting, accurate rifles. Some say they aren't much to look at, I say who cares, look at what they'll do! They are kicking butt with the innovations they are putting out for the shooting industry. The other mfg's are trying to keep up. I had, for the most part, steered clear of Winchester rifles for a long time. I know, I know they are the Rifleman's rifle. Earlier on in life I believed the gun writers who said CRF didn't lend itself to accuracy. I owned two, neither was impressive. One was a .30-06 (plastic stock) that wouldn't shoot under 1". The other was a Coyote in .270WSM (laminated stock) that hoovered around a 1/2". I let both go. Then I found a Winchester 70 SA HVB in .243, lightly used in Washington state. This rifle shoots! I have put a range of bullets, from the 65gn V-Max to the 95gn Ballistic Tip, through it and it has proven to be as accurate as any rifle I have ever owned. It's definately a keeper. Sometimes you get a shooter. :) JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
