I had both the FWt and a STD . The FWT was loud and not the most accurate rifles in the safe. With the shorter barrel you just don't get the performance out of all that powder. I agree that it's just a loud 270 (I have a 270 FWT and preferred it to the 264) the STD rifle was another matter. It was wonderfully accurate with no real recoil issues. If it had one fault it's that it was heavy but all STD rifles are crowding 10lbs with scope, sling and ammo.
