I'm interested in obtaining a current production Winchester Model 70 in .30-06 (sometime after the current troubles that is), so I've been trying to do research beforehand. However, I feel like I get a lot of conflicting or confused information when I try to go in depth on particular aspects of the rifle. Does anyone have any advice for in-depth reading material for the Winchester Model 70? I've found a couple of articles, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for.
One thing I'm trying to figure out in what form this rifle would be good for a rifle that will be used for hunting, but also a comfortable gun for shooting from a bench for an extended time for recreational paper target shooting. I've been seeing things about heavy barrels and different stocks, but I've been getting confused by what I've seen up to this point. When you look at all the versions offered by Winchester right now, I don't know which one is best for what I want to do with it. I feel like my confusion is due to ignorance on my part (my experience comes only from shooting revolvers, pistol-caliber carbines/rifles, and the M1 Garand), which is why I'm asking for reading material (or whatever advice anyone has to offer). I'm asking on this forum since it's the only firearms forum I'm a member of and have had good responses here thus far.
