Winchester Model 70 Heavy Varmint
From the late 90s into about 2005 Winchester sold a heavy barrel varmint/target rifle called the “Heavy Varmint.” These guns were the post 64 push feed action with a heavy barrel and the HS Precision made marksman stock.

OAF Nation Button Up Review
Recently I saw and ad for one of OAF Nation’s patterned button ups. Naturally I got the P42/Frogskin one. I opted for the tan as a compliment to the Otte Gear green one I got recently.
