These Kimber 7mm WSM's and 270 WSM's weigh less than a M70 Featherweight rifle in 280 and are better guns.
I got the 270 WSM Kimber first as many said the 7mm WSM would not make it. Then I had to get a 7mm WSM anyway!
I have not had time to finish the 7mm WSM but it's shooting 168's well. I want to shoot 140's.
The 270 WSM Kimber has been outstanding from the start. I took a very large buck with it. It's shot the 150 gr SST into a 1/2" group at 200 yds the other day and the best part was that it had remained sighted in. Right on at 200 yds!
First of all a long action model 70 can be made to just as light or a little over a 8400 wsm with a edge stock, light barrel and bottom metal with talley lw rings. Still a beefier and better action vs the cylindrical 8400 wsm action and no Russian roulette to play.
