As some may know a few weeks ago I posted a thread about selling my 300 win and buying a model 70 manufactured by fnh. Well picked it up today and I am impressed. Half moa accuracy with hornady superformance ammunition. The caliber is 270 with a 130 grain sst first three rounds chronoed 3190 3198 and 3185 for an average of 3191. At 100 the group was for three rounds. 58 inches but at 300 my group opened up to about 4 inches. I think the gun is capable of better but at 300 was probably my squeeze. Elevation at 300 was good but the most difference was windage ( due to my squeeze most likely).

So long story short +1 for fnh model 70 Winchester. Will definaty by another.
