The back one sure has the grain! This is highly unusual on a later production gun and especially a featherweight whic had it's wood selected for lightweight.
The .270 has been hunted by the prior owner(s) and has the dings to prove it.
The .243 is almost pristine.
As I do not hunt, I hope to shoot both at the range and leave it to future custodians to decide if and how they are to be fielded.
IMHO, however, typical hunting marks would only make these rifles better.
I like the milled bolt sleeve on both of them and the aluminum butt plate on the 243. Very nice. Which one shoots the best.
I have a .270 FW (1960) that loves Sierra 130 grain flat base bullets pushed by 57 grains of IMR 4831. That load shoots 1/2 " groups and has killed close to a hundred deer.
Those are truelly beautiful rifles! I love beautiful wood stocks like those.
I bought my Wife the new lighter version of the M70 Feather Weight back in the mid 1980's from a kid that was attending college in our town of Flagstaff, Az.. I think it was called the ultra light or moutain rifle feather weight, just over 6 lbs.. He was from Alaska and desparately needed the money while attending college in Flagstaff, Az.. Having 5 boys of my own on a restaurant mgr. budget, I only had $350 to offer at the time, and he accepted. Oh, it came with a brand new top of the line 2x7 Redfield with the BDC.
