Got a Model 70 action made in 1958 and in great shape. I need to choose a cartridge to build a mid-weight sporter (whitetail) with a nice Circassian walnut stock and can't decide what to use. Part of me wants to stay faithful and use a Winchester cartridge but maybe I should not be concerned about that.
I am thinking of 284 Winchester, 264 Win. Mag., or maybe 308. My gunsmith says a 308 will require a spacer and a new spring, etc., and so maybe I should go with a longer length round. What would you folks do; any ideas?
