[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 408160, member: 307"] A review on Sniper Central said it was a direct replacement to their Heavy Varmint Barrel. I have the HVB in .243 and it shoots under 1/2". I have shot 65-95gns through it with outstanding results. Growing up there was always some sort of "romance" with the M70, the riflemans rifle. I had a fellow give me one once in .30-06. It had the blued action, sporter barrel with Tupperware stock and a Leupold 3-9X40 Vari-X III. The thing would not shoot under 1" no matter what reload I tried in it. I gave it back to the guy and told him no thanks. That thing kicked worse than a .300WinMag! I swore off the M70 for being inaccurate and bad mouthed it every chance I got. Then I found the HVB while out in Washington. Now this rifle shoots. It is one of the most accurate and consistent rifles I have ever owned. I really can't say enough good about this particular version of the M70. If the Stealth is anything like the HVB you will not be sorry you bought it. :) JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
