Winchester is not messing about, if the models shipped to dealers are as good as the ones I saw at the show, fit and finish is near perfect.

my new Winchester Featherweight .270win is flawless, it shoots as good as it looks, mind you i have only put a half a box through it so far, but i sure like the feel in my hands.
So here is a little ####..

Sure hope the FN versions are better than the one I bought some years ago. They were evidently on a cost cutting tear and I bought a rifle that had been bedded with "HOT GLUE". If you have ever used hot glue you know that it doesn't get really hard. So what I and many others ended up with was a rifle that allowed the action to sort of wiggle around in the stock. It never would shoot into less than about 3-4 inches at 100 and I almost sold it. Finally took it down and gave a hard look at what they did. Dug the glue out of it, installed pillars, and properly bedded the action. It now stays inside 1 1/2 inches no mater what it's fed. Sincerely hope FN never tries to save money on the bedding, or anything else for that matter that might affect quality or accuracy.

Since their return in 2008, they are the best buy for your money.

I asked about left handed models. The response was that they had been working on it, but it had been shelved for the moment, in favor of increasing the available chamberings.

Well that's it - I'm saving up for one of these....I have a real soft spot for winchester rifles already - seeing these photo's made me want another one really badly.
I still have my 7mmRM SuperGrade and it hasn't disappointed me yet. I did however, break the stock in a quad accident and replaced it with a B&C stock, which helped reduce the amount of felt recoil.
