My situation sounds very similar to yours. I was all Winchester Model 70s and the odd Remington 700 bull barrel (MILSPEC 5R) or the Husqvarna sporter.
A few years back I bought an M1A and had so much darn fun it was followed by an AR-15A2, M-1, M-1 Carbine, 1903A3, and No. 4 Mk. I.
Fun stuff, but also, I’m in good shape - “just in case”.
There was a Winchester 70 on Swicoautions bid was $275.
I checked several places on the price.
I called our local Wal Mart and they had 2, .308 or .270,
either new for $250.00.
