Reviews of newer winchester model 70

[Bobby-Long]

I have a couple New Havens, and a couple of the South Carolina FNs. They are all solid, blur the machine work is better on the South Carolina guns. Caming the bolt is much smoother on the FN models. They new FN models may be the best Winchester 70s ever built in my opinion. I wish Jewell would make a trigger for them. The MOA trigger is garbage. The maple on this years run is very good. Timney makes an aftermarket trigger for them.

I feel as of late their new offers seem to be a little to much muzzle breaks for me.

I have a 2021 production M70, 308 limited production Tungsten cerakote muzzle brake, Bell & Carlson black/grey stock.
It is shooting factory 165 Federal bonded ammo at 3/4 MOA. I did proper barrel break in and it is speeding up. I'm at 100 rounds. I bought this to hunt local white tails, not wanting to beat up my high end rifles. It shoots so good my daughter is using it for our upcoming NM bear hunt.

What cartridge is your M70 chambered for?

270 WSM, a cartridge that hits the sweet spot of velocity without ruining it with too much recoil.
Oh, my 70 Featherweight also has an aftermarket trigger in it. Got it at the same time I got it recrowned.
