Default RE: Winchester Model 70

Pros:

Great Trigger
Great Safety and serviceable bolt
Some models have great handling qualities ie Featherweight

Cons:

Spotty Quality
Accuracy is not as consistent as in 700's and 77's
Extractor made of cast metal not spring steel
Weigh more then a corresponding Remington or Ruger Rifle

I have purchased 3 in the last 2 years ironically the best one of the three was a CRPF in 7WSM and was the cheapest.

I see no benefit to CRF unless its a dangerous game situation. Just a selling point for Winchester nothing more and nothing less.
