Yes, another look at two SHTF rifles. But I have another question, and that is; which one of these rifles would be better suited to a ultility, do everything rifle.*
First choice:
Action: Winchester Model 70 CRF
Caliber: 30-06
Barrel: Kreiger MTU, 26"
Stock: Manners (probally)
Optic: USO 3.2-17x44mm with BUIS
Length: ~46"
Weight: ~18 lbs.*
This rifle would cover everything from 200 - 1,400 yards, but come up short with any kind of short range, quick shooting (stuff under 100 yards), and would be an absolute beast to carry and shoot unsupported. However, it can be very accuate out to a long range, and has better ballistics then my second option.*
Second Choice:
Action: Winchester Model 70 CRF
Caliber: .308
Barrel: 18.5" - 20" Kreiger MTU
Stock: Manners (probally)*
Optic: USO 1.8-10x44mm with BUIS
Length: ~40"
Weight: ~14 lbs.*
This rifle would cover everything from 50 - 1,000, and would be better for close in fighting (sub-100 yards). Wouldn't be that bad to carry (I already hunt with a 12 lb. rifle). Not quite as good in the balistics category as the larger 30-06, but the rifle is smaller and more manuverable.*
Ok, then the other question; single shot, BDL style, or magazine fed?
Dead set on a Winchester Model 70 CRF, unless I gp single shot, which would be some kind of custom action in that case.*
Thank you in advance,
