Buy winchester model 70 featherweight New Haven?

[Dman008]

Hi everybody,

I'm new here. I get a lot of good info from this site so u know I can get some good advice here.

I have the opportunity to buy a winchester model 70 featherweight in 7mm-08 remington with a Redfield scope for $600. The problem is that it is from the New Haven plant. I know that winchester had moved production to the Charleston plant and those new production rifles are supposed to be excellent.

I have heard bad things about the New Haven produced models.

The new ones are like $900. So this I've is a real good deal, but not if I risk getting a dud.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,
Danny

i have several new haven win 70,s with crf and if the one your looking is like them, it ,s a well made rifle. and i would buy it if the condition(very good) is there. the scope should be worth 125-150, and the 7mm08 is one of my favorite calibers. eastbank.
