Just took delivery of a M70 .223 WSSM that I had on layaway. The only place I have to shoot is full of cows right now, so I have to what a month or two before I get to shoot it. The manufacture date was in 2003, so it was a hold over. Does anyone have this model/caliber of 2003 vintage? Have you had any problems?

My son bought the Shadow in 223wssm in Nov 2004, and, unfortunatly, it turned out to be the worst shooting rifle I had ever encountered. We found one load, and only one load, that would shoot under 10". A trip back to Win did not change anything. He traded it for a Browning in 223wssm and it shoots very well with most everything we've tried.

I wish you the best of luck with it.

I have a Black Shadow that I have shot for 250 rnds and it is great. No problems at all. I am just going to start reloading, have used factory loads. This is the composite stocked blued rifle with a scope package.
If I can aim it it will always hit it.

I have a Black Shadow in .243 WSSM ans it's sub moa with Win 100gr power points

Thanks all for the info. Hope to shoot some paper soon, will let you know how it goes.
