Being made again at FN-USA plant, who never stopped making FN police rifles on Model 70 type actions when USRA went belly-flop.

As for any good?
I guess they are good.
But the only thing left from a Model 70 they didn't change is the name.

Winchester is long gone. The only thing left of Winchester is a name that is licensed to a European venture (FN) that is allowed to stamp the Winchester name on firearms produced in South Carolina, or even worse Japan.
