I've been looking for the new Model 70 extreme weather that they have advertised on their site with the gray webbing stock. Can't even find any online. One large chain store says they ship direct from vendor. I heard they moved production to Portugal. Are they experiencing delays?

Buds has them in some calibers. Buds Gunshop This availability has always been an issue since the return of the CRF models. Supposedly the move to Portugal was going to improve availability but I think they must do really small runs of some models. The year I was really interested in one there were none to be had anywhere at any price, so I went another direction.

I've got 4 of the new FN Baco guns and absolutely love them. Much nicer than my pre 64s or usrac. No idea on availability but I think they are worth the wait.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I sure wish that the 2016 150th edition Model 70 in 270 Win would come out. I need it like another hole in my head but man I wish that they would come out.

You can't tell some folk anything! Our own MD has 'repeatedly' posted that Win is NOT making rifles in Portugal but ONLY assembling in Portugal. Just so you know, 7-08. Jerry

Never said the pre-64s were junky...i simply said *I* think the current production guns are better...and ill stand behind that for what its worth. I like pre-64s and have owned a pile of them...but if you remove the historical value and mistique...well draw your own conclusions
Ive got 2 of the new ones from SC...A Safari Express 375 and a SuperGrade LW 7x57
2 that say Made in Portugal...both SuperGrade 7mm08s. No difference in quality what so ever
They have very well done barrels based on what I've seen with my titan bore scope and they all shoot lights out. Fit and finish is excellent, the wood on the super grades is spectacular* and the bluing is perfect.
Ive heard some gripes on the new trigger being more complex and failure prone on the new MOA systems and I'm certainly in no position to argue that one way or another. All I can say is that my MOA triggers all came out of the box between 3 and 4 lbs with no creep what so ever. I found no need for further adjustment.
*i was able to hand pick the rifles so the wood I got is spectacular...ive seen some that didnt seem very super imho

Yeah! They aren't! lol.
I ordered a Win M70 fwt, in .280 and it took over a year to get it. I finally got it this past spring.

Very happy with my new EW .308! I have a new EW in .308 as well, out of curiosity, what are you feeding yours? Mine didn't really care for 165gr Hot Cors over Varget.

My buddy also had an Extreme weather that shot so fu cking poorly, he ended up sending it back to Winchester.... I'll stick with my junky pre 64's, at least they always go bang and nothing ever seems to fail on them.
