 In 2002, I took four trophies with my HTC Model 70 in 300 Winchester Magnum. The rifle is quite friendly, not a featherweight but portable and quite manageable without a muzzle brake. At the range I found it to be very accurate with either Swift A Frame or Scirocco bullets in 180 grains. The rifle shoots very small groups at 100 yards and is a consistent sub MOA performer at 300 yards. In the Yukon, I found all the shooting to be rather long, taking a Stone ram at 365 yards as the farthest shot and a wolf at 225 yards as the closest. On a late season Colorado elk hunt, it proved to have plenty of performance to take a nice 6-point elk. This is the kind of rifle a serious hunter needs, setup with top optics, it is portable, user friendly and very accurate. Plenty of reason to have confidence in this one!
