[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2737925, member: 75451"] Pretty difficult to beat a Model 70 Win. If your heart is not set on a custom build…..used Stainless ( all metal components stainless) Steel rifles can be had. But, they come at a pretty high price. If you keep it at the factory weight…..you won’t need to cut and brake. The factory weight, once scoped, loaded, and slung is heavy enough that recoil is pretty tame! My wife has run 300 grainers through my old (vintage 1982 ish) Model 70….with no complaints. Said she was surprised at how little it kicked. Though, she shot from a sitting position and not from the bench! When I was younger…..40 rounds in a day from the bench was no bad at all. I don’t know what another 35 years in age may have changed! 😉 Another stainless factory option would be a Kimber Talkeetna. memtb [/QUOTE]
