I have a FN Columbia, SC FW in 270 (2008LE). I am very happy with it. The wood is pretty nice.

With that said, I have seen a few Portugal (since 2013) M70s shoot very well.

BU, let us know how your new FW shoots!

Definitely a little hard to swallow. The 70 made in Portugal, most shotguns in Turkey, and the 1894 and its historical kin made in Japan...

Uncle Big,

Sorry to hear of your luck with Pre-1964s Model 70 Winchesters.
Here's a look at what you have been missing:



The M70 that shot that target above was in born 1941

and is still kicking!
