I had a pre 64 model 70 that started life in .308. That was a little odd as the action is full length. I shot a number of whitetail with it. Then it became a .338-06 went to BC and harvested a goat. Then it became a .30-06, harvested mule deer, and SteveB got it from me, took it to Africa and harvested plains game with it. I then built another Brockman pre 64 .06 and Darryl wrangled it away from me. I think I need another one that I engrave my name on.
