Jack O'Connor would swoon..........

Chuck it is nice to see a very simple well built gun with a fixed power scope nowadays, the package is very pleasing! If it were mine the only thing I would change is the stock, but I am a Walnut hound,hooo,hooo! great rifle good luck!Dale Z!
 
I now have it sitting in bedding compound. Hope it shoots!:D

It is a factory LH action and a factory RH fwt takeoff barrel. There were a few of Winchester factory rifles that came with a Williams machined steel floor plate. It is much thinner than the standard factory piece and this rifle came with one. That is it's all up weight however I'm on the hunt for a steel bow so that will increase that weight a bit.
 
Fixed it....:p

Seriously, those are very nice rifles. I like rifles like that - no gizmos hanging off them. Very nice, indeed!!
 
IMO there is nothing like a Featherweight model 70 in .270 with a fixed four power scope. Just a wonderfully-balanced combination of weight, power, recoil, ruggedness and ballistics.

The Riflemans Rifle with a great fixed scope. Superb!:agree: I thought I may have fallen prey to the reciprocal club, till I saw the windage turret was in fact, on the starboard side LOL.

Sacrilege bringing old Jack into this with his favorite action and not in the .270...............:p

Chuck if the Williams bows are unobtanium now, I have a somewhat ratty pre-64 steel bow you could try, i am 99% sure it will time properly, you would need to slightly narrow the tab on the floorplate to make it look right and fill around the bow as they are narrower, as well as narrow your trigger like a pre-64 or open the slot. they are slightly trimmer and lighter than the post-64 stuff anyways.
 
Hhhmmm, this thread is going to cost me some money:p So , just so I'm clear, a factory action and bottom metal, with a factory featherweight barrel, all dropped in a Mcmillan Edge stock, should weight in around 6.25 lbs or so, before mounts and rings...
