not real recent
My uncle wrote gun articles for his local newspaper and received guns occasionally for testing. He got a Winchester 670, one of the bargain options to the model 70, back over 45 years ago. Somewhere close to that time he got the Remington 788, another bargain alternative. The Winchester 670 shot real well, the Remington 788 in .22-250 really was a tackdriver. Neither one had nice bluing but both had real wood stocks.
