The ones Ive owned (7x57's)were all ok the worst was a 223 @ about 1.5MOA Bedding fixed it.
Shop Had a couple come back as inaccurate so a range session organised One scope loose the other shot just over a inch Hard to shoot of bags, with the stock design. 3 shot groups. Factory ammo Barrel warms up pretty quick.
Most people got a bedding job done on them anyway
Mate has one in 243 which is very accurate.
I didn't expect them to shoot as good as a sporter , but bought them as a decent rifle for carrying around.
Thought about building one into a 338-06. About ideal for Aus.
Very nice looking and the 80's stock still feels better than the new featherweights.
The 358 win I have was built by previous owner I was looking too build and discussing his rifle, he asked if I was interested ! Havnt looked back 358 punches well above its weight and easy too load for and shoot. My favourite cal for pigs.
Don't know why Winchester don't offer it in a factory rifle.
I think Winchester were ahead of there time with the introduction of the 80's featherweights There wasn't anything else like them on the market at the time.
257 roberts featherweight on used guns ATM very tempting........................
