[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2598244, member: 118816"] It was new at the time, a post 64 model that was extremely accurate for the first 1000 rounds then the accuracy started dropping off. I was doing a lot of metallic silhouette shooting at the time using relatively mild loads. I queried Winchester on it and at the time (Many years ago) their response what that 1000 rounds was many generations of shooting for the average Model 70. I had the rifle re-barreled by Earl Liebetrau of Black Earth, WI using a 26 inch Obermeyer stainless match barrel chambered in 7.62 x 51. The rifle held Sub MOA groups of 0.3 on a regular basis with one slightly enlarged hole for a 3 shot groups pretty regularly. I guess how accurate the rifle was had much more to do with the amount of beer consumed the night before or coffee in the morning. The rifle could shoot better than I could, but that is true of pretty much all of my rifles. [/QUOTE]
