[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1549852, member: 42308"] My last build was on a Winchester EW with the Bell and Carlson stock. I also have a few other variations of the Model 70 in the safe. The lightweight barrel never lived up well to my accuracy expectations at range. A barrel change to a 31” heavy bartlein transitional twist solved that issue. A Timney trigger was a good upgrade. I also replaced the bottom metal to accept AICS 300 win magazines as that just makes the rig more user friendly. Nothing wrong with the factory internal magazine and hinged bottom metal. I love the three position safety, controlled feed and extraction, mine are all hunting rifles first and foremost. I’ve never had an issue with feed, fire, extraction or ejection with any of my rifles. The Winchester isn’t the cheapest option you’ve listed and all of them should be able to fit the bill with modifications. Pick what you like, what best fits your hunting style and lastly your financial situation. A good rifle should be a life-long investment that you can pass on. [/QUOTE]
