Winchester Model 70 300WSM Mfg 2001-new to me

Last week I bought a Winchester Model 70 that was made in 2001 from a guy North of Pittsburgh that had it sitting in his gun safe since not long after he bought it. The rifle is immaculate. I started into getting all the accessories for it to hunt. I had thought about a regular 300 WM, but being that I live and hunt in PA, I can certainly made good use of the shorter WSM. When I saw the condition of this rifle, I bought it.
Looking inside the chamber, it looked like a brand new rifle. I know that this Model 70 Classic was made in 2001 and it was made when Winchester still had employees before they shut down the New Haven plant (2006) So I went about getting this rifle set up.
I bought a Leupold VX-3 4.5 - 12 40mm Adj Objective & Parallax. Today, a black leather Winchester logo sling arrived.
I already have a hard case for it, so as soon as the weather dries up, I'm off to the Range.
Cheers!
