FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

No.

They did make a run of Featherweights in the .270 WSM, 7mm WSM, and .300WSM chamberings, but none in what most would consider 'short-action chamberings (e.g., .22-250, .243 Win., .257 Roberts, .308 Win. etc.).

If you guys like the Win 70 platform consider ordering rifles from MRC.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Were they built on short actions, long actions, or WSM actions?

FWIW, I have two custom LH rifles built on MRC actions. There will be no more; my riflesmith tells me the actions were rough and needed a lot of work to make feed smoothly.

Featherweights in the .270 WSM

I have a lefty Featherweight .270 WSM. Picked it up used a few years ago. I'm very pleased with it.
