No compacts, but I own several full size Featherweights. The accuracy varies anywhere from abysmal to exceptional. The abysmal is a late New Haven and the exceptional is a SC assembled in Portugal.

Even the abysmal Featherweight turned out to have hunting grade accuracy with enough load work. The exceptional rifle is a one holer right out of the box. Like all rifles, your accuracy will depend on the individual gun.

My 7mm-08 short action with a 22" barrel is the best handling rifle I've ever owned.

I have a new Model 70 Compact in a .308. Even though I am 6'1", it is a good fit and truly a pleasure to shoot. I have about 200 rounds through mine and have not jacked with the factory bedding, but I am still experiencing a lot of 1" or less groups during ever range session. However, it did take about 75 rounds for the rifle to settle down, and I did have to use loctite on the actions screws to prevent them from backing out. CP.
