Gramps, I got my Featherweight in 30-06. The quality really amazed me. The absolute only thing I did before shooting it was adjust the trigger. Out of the box it released at approximately 3.75 pounds. Just using the weight of pull adjustment screw, I brought it down to approximately 2.75 pounds. I removed the barreled action to looks things over and every last square millimeter of the inletting had stock finish on it. Most other rifles I have bought during my life, I have at least had to finish sealing the stock under the barrel/action. I hope FN holds up this kind of quality in the long run.
