I absolutely love the look and feel of model 70 featherweights. Hows she shoot?
Don't know as I just picked it up today. Will be scoping it next week. This is what Winchester has to say about these new Model 70's.....
Guaranteed Accuracy
Do the rifles come with an accuracy guarantee? Yes. In its promotional material Winchester says, "you can expect 1 MOA accuracy for three-shot groups from your Model 70 using a properly managed barrel, quality match ammo and superior optics under ideal weather and range conditions.".
From all reports these new FN Model 70's shoot quite well, some thinking they are the best shooting 70's ever. People I have talked that reload and have one of these new rifles, basically say the same thing. We'll see.

Ive heard the same thing about the FN models, a definite upgrade in accuracy over the new haven models. Lets us know when you get out to the range.

Sure are some nice stocks coming out of the factory every now and then.
I keep telling myself I am going to get rid of my M70 featherweight and then I take it out of the safe and play with it and it tugs on the old heartstrings. They are great handling guns.
Mine was shooting good groups with the first box of shells I grabbed. Sighted it in, did some practice shots, took it out and killed a deer and still had some shells left over from the original box I bought.

Just picked up this NIB FN South Carolina made, 2008 Limited Edition Model 70 Featherweight Deluxe in .270 Winchester. Pictures just don't capture just how nice this rifle really is.
Wow, you found a nice one! Here's mine..
