ThomC Report post Posted April 19, 2010 I did just that with a Winchester pre-64 lightweight 3006. I purchased at a swap meet in 1965. I changed the 4x scope to a 2x7. It is a little fussy with ammo but when I found what it likes then it hits the same spot every year. Of course I didn't have to pay $1500. The 06 is the best all around do everything cartridge. No muss no fuss just gets the job done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues&Bass Report post Posted April 19, 2010 +1 with Quimby! 7MM ruger stainless synthetic. Leupold 3by9. I will not hesitate to shoot big game at 800 yrds confidently. You would still have money in the pocket to apply for a tag! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
200"mulie Report post Posted April 23, 2010 I would have kept the two rifles you just sold.... Between the .243 and the 7mag you were geared up for anything in this state and beyond...... If you just want one I would look very closely at the .270 WSM. It is faster, flatter, and hits harder than the 270.... just saying... Any good scope with the BDC or turrets.... Good luck. Whitey +1 i have a 270 short mag owned for couple years and it's a great gun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
