As I put out in another thread, I just got a Winchester Classic model 70, synthetic stock, 24" SS barrel, Leupold rings/ base, and Nikon 3 - 9X ProStaff scope for $650.00. I am going to do the required Florida 12 hour course.I am becoming part of Appeseed Project and going to Manatee Gun Range for other rifle training. This is my FIRST bolt rife!
Here is the question battery:
1. Is there a reference that goes over the "controlled feed action" vs. "push action" I understand the Model 70 is the former
2. Isn't this really about shot placement, just like handgunning? I was told this caliber was safe up to Elk with a "good 150g Nosler" ??
Any other tips and tricks for experienced Florida hunters would be appreaicted!!!!
