    No LH models coming? Disappointing. A southpaw unfriendly company.

    What, do they have one in 6.5x55mm now? I got mine in .308 Win and love it, but I would have preferred it in 6.5x55 instead!

    I very recently bought a stainless featherweight 270Win. It's by far the nicest post-64 M70 I have ever seen.

    Machining, polishing, inletting, slim bottom metal, spring steel extractor, best trigger pull out of the box I have ever seen on a M70, on and on. Just a great rifle.

    A new Winchester Model 70 is on the horizon for me! Apparently, FN is making them as good as Winchester did prior to 1964. Left hand models are available, too. Has anyone bought a left hand model??

    Got caught up in the moment and ordered one. Here we go again; glass, rings, dies, components, etc, etc.

    It's not currently listed, but they have made them in the past.

    I got mine in the late 70s. Still as nice now as then. Has 5 moose to it's name. One from a buddy using it. Looking at a 270 or 243 Featherweight .

    I know, I drooled over one of those Stainless Featherweights in 6.5x55, but was way too broke at the time to get one.

    But it is all fine and dandy now, her is mine in .308 Win with its first deer.


    I really like this rifle.
