Ruger/Winchester African/Safari Express Wish list

[Hunter-Habib]

Teaching Winchester how to properly bed the stocks of their new M70 rifles.

An interesting bit of trivia , the original pre War Winchester M70 rifles in .375 Holland & Holland Magnum actually did have a 4+1 magazine capacity.

Back in the 1990s until 2007 , the Winchester Custom Shop ( long since defunct ) actually used to offer the option for an extended drop box magazine on their large caliber M70s .

The Model 70 Safari Express is great out of the box, IMO. Nice smooth action, accurate, and a good weight to it.

The only things I'd change with it: higher grade wood, heavier barrel in .416 and .458 (similar to the Rugers they use one barrel weight), and add 338 Win Mag, 458 Lott, and 500 Jeffery chamberings.
