I guess I’m a bit biased with the Winchester M70s. I can’t think of a better workhorse than a CRF 30-06 or .270 that should last for generations. Shop for one with better than average wood and it should be a great classic to pass on, and it won’t break the bank.

Just my opinion,

Bucko, thank you for compliment. I guess this as all my fault. I was only trying to steer this thread back on track and got into it with floppy. I even posted pictures to help our members who have trouble with words. I'll post no more on this thread.

My apologies to most of you.

You bet Terry.
Not to stir anything up again but I honestly can see both yours and Flippers points.

I tend to agree with him that it is the memories and the use that creates a heirloom, but by damned you also opened my eyes to another angle.
When a person puts enough time and effort, and yes I can see love in your work it is also making an emotional and personal investment in a firearm.
So personally I think that your both right, and probably would get along well if you ever had the chance to meet.
I would not mind meeting either of you.
