I have four model 70 featherweights, the latest is a 22/250 built in South Carolina, it will shoot better than 1 MOA (glass is a leupold 4 X 12 W/AO). Additionally, I like the rifle so well I'm trying very hard to find a 308 and not having any luck, it seems folks are buying them faster than they can make them! If you can find one in your area go look and handle the rifle, you may not want to put it down! If I had to pick between a Pre 64 and my Featherweight Winchester Model 70's I'd pick the lastest production rifles. They look good and feel good in your hands plus they are accurate!! William
