You’ve got some good stuff stashed away 👍 I love my standards but I have a little more love for the fwt’s. I usually drop them in a McMillian Hunters Edge. They feel good in the hands and enuff meat in the barrel to make the forward weight right on the money. Both weight rifles have been easy to load for and top notch accurate. That’s a danged fact. I’m becoming fairly fond of my 06 set up as you mentioned. Pretty easy shooting gun as well. Good stuff is good stuff ain’t it! 1959 Featherweight 30-06

model70man Campfire Tracker M Joined: Mar 2003 Posts: 4,469	I've always had a soft spot for the standard weights but I also own Featherweights. My preference is: 1 - Pre-War M70s. 2 - Post-War M70s. 3 - Pre-64 Featherweights. I respect everyone's thoughts and opinions though, just stating mine.
