I also have a 325 WSM that isn’t horrible either.
Was the 325WSM a CDNN closeout? A while back they had them for like $600 and I stupidly stared at it until it was too late. I don't need a 325WSM for anything, but for $600, I didn't *not* need one either. Yes sir. That is exactly the one. I bought the rifle and had 0 need for it but decided to kick the tires. Not a half bad rifle and it’d make a fine donor gun if I get tired of it.

My two Portuguese M70s look and shoot great. No complaints. Also no issues, unlike two classics I had. 30-06 7x57

That is one fine looking rifle!

Thanks Gooch! I have a Featherweight 7x57 also, just not as pretty as yours.

My Portugal made model 70 is every bit nice in the fit and finish as the XTRs Although I have not compared they in accuracy

Why do you believe the moa is better than the old tried and true design? You also aren't convincing me that these rifles are better than a pre 64 model 70.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Probably same reason you love your tikkas, remind me again does the tikka use a open trigger or is it boxed 😁🥰😘🥰. But I do love my classics, just picked up this SA in a 243 Winchester.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The question wasn't about Tikka's. It was easy enough to understand. Nice classic. Building up your stainless walnut collection. Good move. Those are damn nice rifles. I'm hanging on to mine as well... Mine was a lot cheaper than yours though..

You've dodged all the reasonable responses about *quality* directed your way. Just trolling now. Have at it.

Why do you believe the moa is better than the old tried and true design? You yourself made a pretty good argument for these triggers back in 2018. I'm in agreement with South Texas with this one. It's so easy to put an Ernie spring in a moa and have a very good feeling trigger, with a crisp, smooth 2.5 pound pull. I pride myself in being able to fine tune the old style trigger to almost perfection, but have shot pre 64's and bacos side by side and the bacos just feel better. They are designed with a mechanical advantage, that just makes them feel crisper, with less creep. I laugh my azz off when some stupid sob says they are replacing the moa with a timney, because that is a lateral move and waste of hard earned money. You gain nothing. However, with this being said, I still prefer the simplicity and reliability of the old trigger... https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/12647011/winchester-moa-triggerNot a bad argument, either.

He still hasn't convinced *himself* apparently... Irony: ignoring all the testimonials about quality and accuracy to fixate on the rifles being made in Portugal (even though the pre-64s weren't the original Winchester corp either)... then quickly changing the subject when Tikka comes up. Where are those made again? Not here... so you must like them for the quality? Not the historical pedigree or where they're produced? Hmmm...
