I got the opportunity to handle a 30-06 limited edition featherweight from the new facility in SC a few weeks ago. It was at a Gander Mountain here in Huntsville. Nice looking rifle, but the limited edition was expensive. I think they'll be good, but it remains to be seen how well they shoot. Overall, the metal work and wood looked good, and fit and finish was good, also.
I fondled a couple -06s and one 300 Win, all Featherweights and all at different Scheels stores. $850 to 900 and the floorplate has "2008 Model 70 Limited Edition" inlayed on it. I suspect even without the script this will be the price range.
Being 25 years old, I don't know how they compare to the pre-64 actions but they appear to be well done. I watched the video on their website and that is one plant tour I would love to go on!

American rifleman did an article on them in the same issue as the NCR.
Good reading!
I would buy one if I wasn't after as many "obama guns" as I can get before his inaguration and the possibility of a fillabuster proof democratic senate. :evil: :evil: :shock: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I saw a .270 and an 06 at sportsman wharehouse just yesterday.
Really pleased with the fit & Finish. the .270 was beautifull.
I am tempted to sell one of my other rifles and go buy it, But I have a real nice old FN in the .270 now and I really prefer my .257 roberts or a .308 for most of the hunts where i might use a .270.
