I know this has probably been an old topic but I can never get "search" to work. Your cash... Winchester 70 featherweight or Kimber classic 84M. Any other suggestions? ty in adv
Why does a man who is 50 pounds overweight complain about a 10 pound rifle being too heavy?

M70 with the old trigger.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Any other suggestions? ty in adv Assuming we're talking wood stocks... Kimber Classic, hands down. M70 Fwt's (unless we're talking a pre-64) make me throw up a little in my mouth. Especially the BACO ones.

This is looking like a blondes/brunettes/redheads kinda thing. If somebody GAVE me a Kimber I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. And the newer FN Featherweights would be my pick of the Winchester litter. Love them.

As they come from the factory- Kimber without question, IMO.

I own both and like both very much. I really like my Kimber Montana the best though. Nice and light weight, accurate, easy to use. Just wish it had a cheekpiece on the stock.

If you're NOT really interested in "featherweight" the the M70 is ok.
Stock style and checkering is California cathouse style, with coarse checkering.
If you want a LIGHT rifle with nice 20LPI checkering, a classic style stock, and have a few more bucks to spend then get the Kimber.
It'll be a pound lighter and a lot nicer.

I am no gun expert I just hunt with them. I had both and I still have 2 feather weights. I have 2 new winchester yet to hear of a trigger failure.
If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer or elk but how he hunted it.
