i grew up reading oconnor, and my first serious hunting rifle was a ruger tang 270 win. now, 40 years later, i recently purchased a new fn m70 super grade in 270 win. used it last fall on several deer and an elk. my super grade is as close as i'll get to a rifle like jack's. i would tend to be too careful with a tribute version in the woods, thus i couldn't enjoy the hunt. they are certainly beautiful!
