Seeing as they are making 264mag barrels maybe there is hope for a 6.5 Creedmoor in the 70 Compact Featherweight or at least a 6.5x55 in the standard Featherweight.

I was beginning to wonder if Winchester would ever bring out another stainless 375 H&H; now I know: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/img/images-by-title-name/Model-70-Alaskan-Stainless-Laminate-MID-535142-m.jpg)

Yep, I need a LH version for my daughter. If not she will shoot a Ruger or a levergun, which are both good options.

Way to go FN....steppin it up.
Wish the Ultimate Shadow SS came in 7WSM though...would be great to drop in a Mickey.
If I were smart enough, which apparently I'm not

7WSM and 264... Viable! But, how's the COAL latitude with the model 70 WSM action?

Indeed, winchester is stepping up their game a bit. Awfully tempting new products. "Things that make you go hmmmmm..."....
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

That Ultimate SS will kill the EW sales. With them both at the same weight, I wouldn't pay $300 more just to get the B&C stock and a fluted barrel. I'd just put that $$ toward an edge. +1

Does anybody shoot a model 70 WSM action that can attest to their COAL latitudes? How long could I seat 162 AMAXes or 168 Bergers? Always thought that was a cool cart...

I think there's a .30/06 Alaskan in my future, and maybe a .257 featherweight, too.
