Yep got one of them in a 280, shoots great with 160 Parts but hates bullets under 160 grns. It is always in the vault sighted in ready to go.
Right, Winlite, brain fart. So what's a Featherlight? Or are we simply cross breeding terms? - dan
Had a Winlite in 30-06, foolishly (some would say stupidly) used it for a build that did not "meet my expectations", sold it all. Original 06 would put 5 inside an inch with hornady 165s! I'd buy another one in a heartbeat if the price was at all reasonable, loved the stock.
I may have been acquainted with that rifle....
I've had Winlites in 300 Weatherby, 30-06, 270 and 25-06....
The stocks are McMillans

That was not one of my finer moments, wish I could rewind the clock on that one!
I hear ya,...I have a list of rifles I should have kept,...it's a loooooong list....

I just picked up a feather weight classic in 6.5x55.
It has a cheap no-name made in japan rubber coated 4x40 scope and with some old unknown reloads that came with the gun I was shooting clovers @ 100yds. I'm unsertain of its vintage but am leaning towards the 1996 erra.
