[QUOTE="Dragoon300, post: 2284874, member: 115285"] My Dad bought his model 70 in 1958, put a Bausch & Lomb Balvar 8 on it, and used it for Fox hunting. It was my first center fire rifle. After my Dad passed, my older brother wanted to "borrow" it and it never came back. One Christmas my Wife and I were in Cabelas and found one that was like new so we bought it. Later I found a B&L BV8, but have not put it on. I currently have a Nightforce on, but don't shoot it enough. I did however want to see if the velocity claims Winchester had of 4110 fps were true, because all of the loading manuals pale in comparison. So I fired 5 rounds of original Winchester 1960's ammo over my Magnetospeed and found they were running 4090 - 4100 fps! And they group well too! Now days I shoot my Desert Tech SRS-A1, currently in 6.5 PRC most, but the Swift is special to me. [/QUOTE]
