I've been overseas for the last 5 months in a country where private ownership of firearms is almost completely banned. On the flight back home a few days ago I was mulling over what was the first thing I was going to shoot when I got back--I have a large selection of pretty much anything I desire short of a full auto to choose from. I decided to go for "a classic;" a model 70 in 270 WSM. Mine was made during the Winchester turmoil and was completely made in Portugal. It's never been a great shooter--I've shot other model 70's that were much more accurate--but hey, it's a model 70 and I just had to scratch the itch.
As my luck would have it (usually it goes the other way)--when I pulled up at the range today it was all clear out to 362 yards. I whipped up a few 135 gr matchkings driven by 60.2 grs. of H4350.
Not great, but not bad either, which is what I usually get with this particular rifle.
So what would you choose after a long lay-off from shooting?
