So the "35AMN" serial # would indicate a 2009 DOM. I'd say it's probably a good one. In 2008 FN wanted to win us over with their new model 70 and they put out a great product. Quality started to go in the chitter later on and that's why they are now manufactured in Portugal.
Wrong buddy just the stocks made in Portugal all other parts made in South Carolina and assembled in Portugal...
Who's wrong here? They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. Why does it say "made in Portugal" on the box now??????
I'd be all over that 2009 EW for $800.00. Hard to beat that deal on a great rifle. The OP was right in buying it. Good luck to any of you bastids buying the new and improved Portugal pos win model 70..
