New Rifle
« on: November 09, 2012, 05:20:19 PM »
Winchester Model 70 Super Grade Lightweight in .257 Roberts.  One of Cabelas' Limited Editions.  Been thinking about getting one since I saw a picture in a special Limited Edition brochure Cabelas put out in the spring.  They finally arrived about a month or so ago.  Searched a few stores and luckily found one with wood I liked, so I jumped on it.  From what i understand on other forums, they shoot pretty darn well.

Very nice figure in that wood. That's a beauty.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

That's a very nice looking rifle, and a great caliber.

Very nice.  Yeah, I'm old school when it comes to firearms.  Love nice wood.  Synthetics just don't float my boat.  I remember hearing the following somewhere...............

Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun.... :chuckle:
