Looks beautiful man! I saved up and bought one in .270 back in 1988 from Gulf States here in Montgomery. Took another year to save up to buy some decent glass for it at Mark’s in Vestavia my 1st year at UAB. Love that gun! Congrats on a great finished product!

Per Winchester's site:

https://www.winchesterguns.com/support/faq/where-are-winchester-firearms-manufactured.html#:~:text=All%20Winchester%20over%20and%20unders,in%20our%20factory%20in%20Portugal.

Winchester Model 70.
It is no secret that Winchester Repeating Arms is part of the greater Herstal Group, with factories all around the world. The best factories are used for each model. Assembly and production of Model 70s have been shifted to our Viana, Portugal plant as indicated on the barrel inscription. Earlier production of USA-made guns is marked as such. For the first seventy years, production was in New Haven, Connecticut, the factory that closed in 2006. After 2006, a number of Model 70 bolt action rifles were produced at a Herstal Group factory (FNM) in South Carolina, U.S.A. over several years.

Production was then moved to our factory in Viana, Portugal -- a factory which was already part of the Herstal Group (our parent company). Generally, today, key parts are likely sourced worldwide with the rifle made and assembled in Portugal.



God Bless,
David B.

Hey BOFF what bullet you using for the .270wsm? Also beautiful rifle. Hard to beat the quality of a model 70 imo

I got 20 boxes of Federal 130gr Nosler ballistic tip, before the scare at a closeout through Dunn's Sporting goods.
Took a chance in the order, and they have performed/grouped really well. These are the only rounds I have.
Still haven't done a 3/5 shot group without gusting winds, to see the true results.

God Bless,
David B.

I see the Featherweight is knocking down some heavy weight! Very nice!

Shot a buck today with the 270 ShortMag Featherweight.

Dropped in his tracks at 145 yards. Bullet was under skin of offside shoulder. Very impressed with the Federal 130s and the Featherweight!

Deer weighed an even 180 lbs. I've passed him up 3 separate times, hoping a friend or younger child would shoot him. He just hasn't been seen when they are hunting.

I guess I’ll keep looking for one since you won’t be selling it anytime soon. Glad you killed that old 7 pt. What’s the weight retention on that bullet that’s retrieved?
