I'm not sure that there is actually a significant difference between the CZ and the M70 with respect to weight. I think the actions would be within a few ounces of each other. But the featherweight M70 barrel is obviously much lighter than the CZ. I checked list weights, and the CZ is 'sposed to be the same weight as the M70 sporter.
I thought the "old" Winchester fit and finish was similar to the CZ. It wasn't universally bad but there were clear quality control issues. I rather the CZ safety (that'll be controversial) and trigger (more controversial). The M70 stock was better, and they felt smoother. Sounds like now FN/Winchester has a clear ascendancy. Dissapointing to still here a lot of stories of folks having to work the CZ w.r.t. feed issues - i thought this may have improved.
