Good day fellow members
I am starting the explore the possibility of adding a Mod70 to my battery. An all-weather this time, in 30-06.
I have come across the following on the internet:
Extreme Weather
Coyote Light (Sexy looking!)
Ultimate Shadow
Living in a tropical part of the world, my normal Blue'd firearms take quite a beating regarding rust. Under normal hunting conditions this is not a problem, but I had my Super Grade on my last hunt and ended up hunting in the rain – not the place for such a rifle. I also need to add a suppressor to the rifle and can not see myself threading it, even more reason to buy a second 30-06.
I am aware that there are some super makes and models available, for instance the Ruger Scout. Being nostalgic, I would like to stay with the Mod70.
I have contacted various outlets in SA but was unable to view any of the models since they did not stock them. The few customers that placed a special order had their rifles out the shop within days. I would pretty much have to buy one blind.
Does anyone mind sharing their views on any of these rifles?
