Just got this today, a Model 70 Winchester Heavy Varmint in .308. Slapped the Tasco on her. Gonna see what she will do tomorrow!

Nice looking gun! That's the first one I've seen with a 2 tone action / barrel.
-
Will be waiting and watching for range reports and target porn!

I had one in .300 Win Mag.
I HATED it !
Th rifle and caliber were great, but it had a 26 inch barrel .
When it was in the case it would not fit in the freaking car.

You need a bigger car Tom.
Nice looking rifle.

Priorities are backwards Tom...
You needed a bigger car ;D ;D

Who asked you, Jumbo? ;D ;D

Just got home from shooting my new toy, and I gotta say I love this gun. Had it on target in 3 shots, and at 100 yards everything was MOA or less, and that is with hunting grade bullets, my reloads. At 300 yards all I had to do to hit 2 liter bottles filled with water was to hold on the next mil dot on my scope, and it would drill them every time. No, I didn't take a picture of my targets, forgot the camera, so you are just gonna have to take my word on it! Can't wait to load up some 168 grain Sierra match kings and see what she will really do

Very cool. Great buy.
Isn't there just a whole lot of satisfaction knowing if you're got it dialed in that's where the bullet will go?

I'm glad it worked out for you. I had a varmint target model made at the tail end of US manufacturing a few years ago (US again?) and it sucked. It was a 22-250 and would not group better than a grapefruit at 100 yards regardless of the ammo. Free floated, great scope, solid mounts, etc...all the usual suspect just a stinking lemon. I stay away of anything bolt action that Winchester made from 2000 to around 2006 for sure.
However, you have one really nice gun and I love the Model 70 actions.

gunman, you forgot the camera and you expect us to believe you? Did I tell you about the time I shot 3 quarters out of the air with a Ruger One? My wife didn't properly load the camera so unfortunately didn't capture that moment. Just foolin', of course and glad you had a great time with your new rifle.
Tom, what kind of car do you have...Smart?

Tom,
Hope it's not your bug out vehicle!
