I had a chance to handle one of these in 30-06 Yesterday. While the stock was a little on the "obese" side, what a great rifle. The fit and finish were top notch, the bolt butter smooth, and the stock plenty stiff. If I were right handed I might have bought the thing right there. A set of Leupold DD low mounts and a fixed 6X Leupold would make this a go anywhere do anything lifetime rifle. For the budget conscious shopper, this as a single big game rifle in the safe amortized over 25 years of hunting would be nothing short of a bargain.
Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather

I have a Winchester Model 70 in .375 H&H Mag and love the darn thing. Got it for Cape Buffalo.... Never got to use. 9/11 happened and I decided that it was not smart for a Middle Eastern looking male to travel to Africa with a big-ass rifle. Gosh I hate terrorism and terrorist of all creeds, colors, religions etc.
I have a Model 70 in 7mmRM and love the rifle. It's not the extreme weather version, but she has NEVER failed me yet in any situation.
I can't say enough good things about the rifles that come out of New Haven.
However, that said, I do believe that they recently went through a change in ownership and heard from others that some of the earlier offerings from that new company were subpar and required a visit to the 'smith. Clearly this isn't the case here.

What actions?
Sauer and Interarms mark X. Same senerio both times. -35 and colder. exit truck, head into the bush and discover actions are frozen a couple of hours later.
Very odd. I to would be curious as to what those actions were treated with.
agreed......other companies are selling tupperware stocked rifles for more $$$$...Sako sells an $1800 rifle with a tupperware stock...that's BS....
The stock alone is worth about $325 from B&C......
Once I adjusted it.
From the owners Ive talked too the Tupperware stocks feel and work fine. If it shoots MOA no need to buy a B&C or a McMillan. Sako's have garantee'd 5 shot moa.
I think most guys buy expensive stocks like they do fancy rims on trucks, not neccessary but flashy.
Cheers!!
You couldn't be more wrong. I've personally seen the tupperware stock on a 75 snap at the wrist with a LIGHT fall on the butt of the rifle. This is aside from the flimsy junk they're made with. I spend to much time and money hunting to not consider a quality firearm "necessary".
