I'm looking at purchasing a Win. (FN) Model 70 Featherweight in .243 Win. The rifle will be for my wife and will be used primarily to hunt whitetails with factory ammunition.
My primary concern is with the slower twist rate in the Winchester (compared to say a Rem. 700) and how well it will handle 100 grain flat-base bullets.
If anyone has had any experience with the Model 70 in .243 (or used lighter weight bullets for whitetail deer) I would greatly appreciate any feedback or advice. Thanks in advance for your help.
