I am not sure where to post this so I'll put it here. Moderators feel free to move this to the appropriate forum.
I am cleaning up a post 64 Winchester Model 70 308 (actual date manufacture is 1965) for a friend to sell. The rifle is rough on the outside but the bore and chamber are very good and the barrel looks to be a heavy sporter. I would like to know if this is a good platform for a long range rifle? I have always wanted a 30 caliber long range rifle. If I bought this from my friend it will serve dual purpose as a hunting rifle and long range shooting. I thank everyone for there time and opinion on this. Here is a picture of the rifle in question.
