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!

My other newer Model 70 rifles are more accurate than any older Winchesters that I have ever shot - much better than the beloved old pre-64 models. I have had a lot of Winchesters and although they were not the most accurate rifles that I have owned they are still very good hunting rifles.

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!
