RE: Seeking an all around Western Gun
Checked out a Browning A=Bolt and a Kimber today both in 300 Win Mag. Kimber was too front heavy for me and kinda unbalanced for my shape. Browning was nice kinda close to the Model 70. I have trouble hunting with a gun made in Japan so I'll probably end up woth the Model 70.
Does a cheek piece do much on the stock? It makes it more comfortable for me. Any recoil effect?

Have you looked into a Ruger 77MkII, or the Remington 700CDL ? Nothing wrong with a Mod.70, but you might want to check these out also.
Another worth looking into, though a bit more$$$, isthe Sako.

lol STD I don't wanna hurt your feelings but the same people that own Browning own Winchester firearms as well. And they are an "interesting mixture" of corporate partnerships... French and Japanese! LOL I don't mind the Japanese NEARLY as much as I literally DESPISE the French!!! [:'(]

Bummer....Looks like it will be another trusty Savage. Isn't anything other than Knight Rifles and Leupold truly American anymore...[:'(]
Tikka are light for me for that caliber. I don't like any Remington guns because of a very bad experience I had with one and the companies response.

Savage makes a 300 ultra Mag or did at one point.I will get everyones goat but saying.Magnum,Magnum Magnum,if recoil is not a factor it is one of the best wide open guns around.

Leupold is not all american made anymore either as they now import some components. I think Burris is all american made but you never know anymore
