I think they have their discription off a little. The action is a push feed and the recoil pad is the traditional Featherweight style. I would bet it's not a MOA trigger. Most of the XTR were built in the 80's, right?
Not that it's not a good rifle, but not worth $1000.00, or more.
I have a Winchester Model 70 Stealth, in .243 WSSM. I head shot a coyote at 626 yards with a 95 grain CT bullet. Good shooting rifle. Good gun for those long shots on a stand.
I saw a big male when I was driving back to Colorado, after Christmas. I've shot several, on coyote stands. Youu got to have patience to get cats. They take a long while to show them selves, and when they stop, they disapear.
I have to agree with you about the Model 70, they are just a fine rifle. It's hard to find a tougher factory rifle then the Classic Laminate.
Very good shooting.
I have owned all the WSM and WSSM calibers, except the .325 WSM.
I have a 8mm Remington Magnum, that I ordered new in 1979...
I've had a couple STW's and they are deadly. Never had one made, but I'm shooting a Classic LT now, and when it needs it I'll rebuild it. The other 2 were those damm Remingtons.
When we go back to the ranch at Christmas time, we used to hunt Jack Rabbits. Before Grandfather died, we went every year.
During the winter the rabbits hang around old buildings and bunch up. One spot south of Hinsdale, there is an old homestead, with several buildings still standing...
I have set up and delivered a Featherweight in .243 or 7mm08 to all my Nephews, Neices, and Son in Laws. Natural or married in. I enjoy watching them shoot something with my setup.
I've only found a couple .243 that would not shoot. Had them unscrewed and cleaned up, and screwed back...
I have a brand new Classic Featherweight Stainless Steel, in .243 Win. that I've had for a few years. Then when I get enough money I will mounts a Silver Leupold on. Then I will give it to my Nephew, the Marine. He was in 'Harms Way' longer then 4 generation before him, 10-11 years total.
Chris used to work at GAP, a number of years ago. Then he decided to go out on his own. He builds a real accurate rifle. The 300 WSM has had several different twists, 1-12", 1-11.5", 1-10", and now 1-11.25". I have been experementing with it, over the years. In '90 when Winchester was...
My wife is still under the weather and I'm trying to be quite. So I thought I show you my rifles. Here are some of them.
The bottom one in the first picture is a Model 70 Classic in .300 WSM, built by Chris Matthews of Long Shot Rifles. 4th barrel counting the factory one. There is a...
Guy, I'd own a .500, if it came in the same frame as a .44(N). But it has a smaller grip on it. I got real big hands, and the N frame fits good.
Had a .460 for a few years, but traded it off. You ever have one of those guns you wished you still had?
I though I had posted this before, but I couldn't find it. Some of you have seen these before, but here goes.
