[QUOTE="therifleman556, post: 1398072, member: 101898"] Well, it's done. Placed the order for the M70 Extreme Weather. I was dealing with a trade in so I was somewhat limited in what I could get my hands on. I couldn't get a Sako, or the semi-customs. My choices were the Wby/Howa, Browning, Ruger, Bergara, or Winchester. I gave the Ruger a fair shake this time, both the gunsmith there and the owner were both very complimentary of them but the 6.5 was unavailable and I didn't care for another 308. I handled the Ruger (FTW) for a good half hour, but my gut told me Winchester. In the end it was the unavailability of the Ruger in 6.5 that made my decision. I also picked up the scope that will be riding, a Bushnell Elite Tactical 2.5-16. It's a mil-dot reticle with moa turrets but I think it will be fine for out to 500. Pics to come when it's assembled. Thanks for the input and opinions folks. [/QUOTE]
