I'm a Winchester M-70 fan, I have several and I'll agree, I think the FN Model 70s are the best of the lot right out of the box.

Mine also is a 270 Win but a Featherweight Limited Edition. Probably the best hunting rifle I have (well on par with my Featherweight in 257 Roberts).

Now having said that, I think the ammo the OP mentions has a lot to do with it. I've found, in my rifles the Hornady SST's to be some of the most accurate bullets I've found........even for long range target shooting.

I've read reports of the SSTs shedding their jackets on heavier game, don't know, it hasn't happened to me. But, at least in the 150 grn 277 bullets, the Hornady Interbond is the exact same bullet but holds together.

I found they shoot the same place, at the same velocity as the 150 grn SSTs.

The Interbonds are more expensive so I use them for hunting and stick with the SSTs for practice and target shooting.
