After receiving this Mod 70 Featherweight from Midway, I was very happy with the fit and finish of the gun except the way the safety functioned. This is my 1st Winchester. The stock is beautiful. The safety on the other hand had obviously not been checked at the factory as it was inoperable. It took a lot of force to move it into the “fire” position and once their was almost impossible to get it back to “safe”. I tried working it with great force a couple of hundred times to loosen it up but only managed to put a blister on my thumb. I contacted Winchester and they had me send it back (on their dime) and got it back about 3 week later fully functional. At the range I was able to get it sighted in in short order though I may have to play with the loads to see if I can improve on the 1.5″ group. I carried the gun in deer rifle season and took a doe with it. I plan on holding on to this gun forever.

I was very happy to find this rifle for sale at a very competitive price, well below msrp. I was looking to add a deer rifle chambered in .243 to my collection. I love the classic design and the quality of the Model 70 super grade. A rifle I’ll be proud to pass on to my son.

I use my AR 15 for just home protection and I love the style of it

This rifle is a well made weapon. I like everything about it except the trigger. I had to install a timey three pound trigger and this is a great trigger.

Things were not great at first,there were feeding issues which I have worked out by polishing feed ramp.I’t still does not feed hollow point bullets.Bear creek arsenal said it was not designed to use hanloads,which is crazy being that everything is done on spec measurments.They instead stated to me that they know what to do but did not want to tell me so the question is would I buy another? Questionable
