Ok, my son wants a wood stocked rifle and I have some questions if you have experience on them. He was thinking of a 7mm-08, not bad, just getting him into the larger caliber since there may be an Elk hunt in there but also have a caliber that's not "overkill" I currently have the Winchester Extreme Weather in both .308 and 30-06, since I told him he would get both one day, go for the .270. While I would like him to get the same model, he's after the wood stock option. While I like the Winchester, looking at other options such as the Tikka and maybe Browning A or X bolt. He has a 700 in 30-06 but that's the last 700 and will be on the chopping block.
As you can see, straight up stock rifle more than likely the same VX6 2-12 with illumination scope as the 70's (unless there another option)
So, whatcha think?
