I like hugs and making the world a better place. That and guns. Lots and lots of guns.
T4R. Both are owned by the same person. Both are on consignment. Both are hand engraved by a master engraver and are beautiful. They both come with scopes already mounted. The Springfield is chambered in 30.06 and the Winchester I cannot remember. The Springfield is around 1400$. The Winchester I don't remember exactly but I believe it was in the 2400$ range. Here are some pictures that look somwhat similar to the guns I'm talking about. They are close, but not nearly as pretty.

Winchester 70:

all you need are those leather gloves to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.

I already have a pair. Now all I need is the rifle so they freeze in place in awe od the craftmanship of the work on the rifle. It's much easier to hit a stationary target.

Go for the Springfield, 30.06 is one of the greatest hunting rounds of all time.

That's what I've been thinking. The only thing I don't like is that the eye relief of the Springfield is off. I have to get incomfortably close to the scope in order to get a clear crosshair picture. The Winchester is almost just right.
