Classic and can do 90% of what a shooter/hunter needs a rifle to do. My go-to, do-all rifle is pretty similar - a M77 flatbolt RS in .308 with a 3.5-10x Leupold VX3i with Boone & Crockett reticle. With 165 grain Nosler Partition handloads, I'm good for most hunting situations short of the really bigs that bite back.
