Thanks. He shot it a bit on the range and then killed one animal with it. His two favorite hunting rifles are a Browning X-Bolt (.308) for bad weather, and a M70 Classic Super Grade .270 when the sun is shining. The Featherweight was just sitting in the safe feeling lonely so, as I said, he finally caved and it now has plenty of company. I adjusted the trigger with an Ernie spring and shot it Saturday afternoon with a couple of factory loads. Of the four different loads off the bench, it put three 140-grain factory Core-Lokts into .660". I'm thinking that this one has potential.

"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
