Model 70 Extreme Weather SS

I received mine from Clay at Prophet River this week; just haven't had time to take it out for a test drive yet.

I have seen two, one in 300 WM and one in 30-06 both were at LeBaron, one in Montreal and one in Toronto. They look and feel nice to me.

I would think both the bolt and action have more steel because they are cast parts and makes up for shotfalls in strength with mass. Just my theory, but like I said I wouldn't feel any less safe with the Ruger over the Winchester.

I handled one at Le Baron in Montreal about a month or so ago, in .30-06 also. Very nice looking metal, but I didn't care much for the stock. It just felt too bulky and a little uncomfortable for me. I'm just too used to my Weatherby MK-V's much more slender stock.

I ended up going for a featherweight, but not from Le Baron, cause they didn't have the short action I wanted.
