Old loyalties aside, if I were to reduce my battery down to three rifles, I'd keep these, and they're all custom jobs that Echols built for me that are stocked and balanced the same:

1) 270 Win., pre-64 Model 70 action, 22" Kreiger barrel, McMillan stock, Leupold 2.5-8X scope.

2) 338 Win. Mag., Model 70 Classic action, 24" Kreiger barrel, McMillan stock, Leupold 2.5-8X scope, with Duplex reticle and a single 400 yd. stadia wire from Premier Reticles.

3) 416 Rem. Mag., Model 70 Classic action, 24" Kreiger barrel, McMillan stock, Leupold 1.5-5X scope
