Browning xbolt2 v. Winchester model 70

[Lance11]

Browning XBolt 2 or Winchester model 70 chambered in 7prc??

looking for some help/ guidance. I have plenty of guns but shopping my first Hunting Rifle.
Looking for an Elk/ deer gun for western hunts Co, Id, Wy etc.
I’ve kinda narrowed it down between the Browning Xbolt 2 and Winchester model 70. Also open to Tikka but for whatever reason it’s not my first pick. Hoping to keep the rifle alone under 2k.
7mm PRC
22’ barrel
I want some decent long range capabilities this will be my only hunting rifle.

If you have experience with these guns please help me. Any help is appreciated and if you don’t like these guns or ammo I wanna hear about it.

Also with know optics are huge and am leaning towards the Optics- Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 due to discounts through vortex.

I love my Winchester model 70... But I wouldn't really recommend them for something long range focused unless you're really passionate about them and want to jump through hoops to customize. I don't believe they offer any stocks with more modern geometry, everything they have is a sporter stock, and there's not that many aftermarket options.
Could check out the montana 2022, the marshall with the rokstok probably has most of the model 70 benefits although well above your stated price target.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of comments about chambering and 7PRC being too much recoil so I'll leave that to others.
