If I didn't have a just about perfect commercial FN Mauser actioned .270 in a Mountain rifle style that I really love hunting with, I would find a nice Pre 64 270 Featherweight and settle on that for the rest of my deer hunting days... I could also be happy with a Remington 700 Early Mountain rifle , especially if I could find one in stainless with a nice wood stock on it. The later Win 70 Classic featherweights are also very classy in stainless/wood and I have heard they shoot fine, but don't have any experience with one yet....

Always like the looks of the Sako and feel of the actions, but they are always heavier than I think they need to be and my old gunsmith used to bad mouth them also for various reasons..


Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
