[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1489429, member: 75451"] As much as I love the Win. model 70, IMO, they are too heavy for a hunting, carry rifle. Unless the shooter is recoil sensitive, a .375 H&H, scoped, loaded, and slung.....should “not” exceed 9 pounds. With a good fitting stock, and a good recoil pad...a 9 pound H&H is a “pussycat”! But....that’s just my opinion! If you could find a SS Model 70, you could either turn the barrel down and reattach the sights, or go with a new, #4 contour (which is what I did in ‘89)! Either way.....it’s a little pricey! Having both a factory weight Model 70 and my semi-custom 9 pound AI....I’ll take the lighter weight any time! memtb [/QUOTE]
