Chance to trade X-Bolt SS for Model 70 SG,...what would you do??

[Tabacco Brook]

OK guys,.. here's one for ya. I may have a chance to trade my Stainless Stalker X-Bolt 30.06 for a Model 70 Super Grade 270. My X-Bolt is mint 14 rounds through it,..and I think the Model 70 is mint also with low round count as well,....What should I do?

What's retail on each? Difference -25% and you have your trade + cash value.

FWIW I'd take the Mod 70.

 

[guido]

Yours is an x-bolt. The other may be the best rifle made. I think you can decide now.

 

[Dogleg]

Model 70 for me.

 

[crazy_davey]

Take the model 70.

Two very different rifles. The model 70 is the classier, prettier option but if you're looking for something to drag up the side of a mountain the x bolt stainless stalker is better suited.

Let me just put it this way..........I have 2 Mod 70 supergrades in my rack............Browning X-bolts.......zero.

I'm no expert but I would far rather a Winchester model 70 than a x-bolt.

EASY ANSWER....Winchester Model 70

 

[kamlooky]

It's a trap.
Awtt six for a tent peg?

I told my SMITH I thought a BRNO was better than a Model 70....He said "Do Ya think the CHEC girls can screw better than the California girls"

The only thing I don't like about my super grades is they are too nice. Always worried about scratches/ water/ etc.

I figured the Model 70 would win this debate by a land slide, lol. The only thing that has me on the fence is I bought the X-Bolt to be used as a ruff use gun for rain storms and to use in the canoe and atv. (I have always had guns that I treat like a baby and try not to beat them around, keep them dry, no scratches, no rust, etc.)
But I'm kinda old school, wool pants, red n black checkered wool jacket, green Acton trail boots kinda hunter and the black synthetic stainless steel rifle just doesn't seem to feel right, lol.
I am waiting for the guy to send some more pics of the SG and hopefully my mind will be made up.
I always did carry nice rifles and never banged them up so this one should be no different.

Don't be a dumdum and get the winchester.

We keep an X-Bolt around camp for 'odd jobs' ....... prying tent pegs out, jack handle, etc. You should be trading two X-Bolt's for that 'Super Grade' .....
