Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Experiences with a winchester model 70 XTR Featherweight

[How do they perform?] - Excellently, in every respect.

[bad experiences?] - This one was found cheap because it was grossly inaccurate due to a botched glas-bedding job, which I had to refit, to correct.

[good experiences?] - Satisyingly small groups w/factory Norma ammo since refitting, and one-shot bags on game since.

[reliability?] - Stone.

[Grupings?]- 6" + @ 100yds B4 fix; 3/4"-1" @ 100yds after - both with Norma 156gr factory ammo (6.5x55).

[anything that makes it unique and different from other rifles] - This 1997 Mod 70FW-XTR Classic is argueably the best-looking factory bolt-action rifle ever made.
