The Winchester 70 arrived. Not ashamed to admit that it slept next to my bed last night. Its a standard Model 70, 30.06, serial number 148414- which dates it back to 1950. The scope is a Weaver K-4 1 and I apologize for my lack of photography skills this afternoon. The lighting- always the lighting!
Please let me know your thoughts, advice, critiques, ect. I welcome it all. The reloading advice was pretty well covered in highpower's thread and I plan to start my disassembly "getting to know you" process tonight.
Oh, and I also wanted recoil pad advice. I love the stock as is- similar to my service rifles, but how hard it this thing going to kick without it? I'm not a hunter, strictly target shooting and my mainstay rifles are my Springfield 03A3 and the Garand. Fine with those, I can put 60 rounds through offhand without much difficultly. Just wondering what shades of black and blue can I expect without a recoil pad?
Thanks, and hope ya'll are having good shooting weather this weekend.
