"New" Winchester M70 Stealth

[xgunbunny]

Just curious if anyone has had the chance to handle and/or shoot the "New" Winchester M70 Stealth that was shown at the Shot Show.

I haven't shot one but I got the chance to handle one the other day. I'm very impressed with the quality of the new Winchester Model 70s throughout their whole line.

Smooth actions and great triggers right out of the box. The Stealth is a very cool looking rifle. All black with a very nice stock.

I liked it.

Did they go back to the Pre '64 controlled feed action? I thought i read it some where?

Yes they did. The rifles I've handled have nice smooth actions out of the box.

I'm happy to hear the new Stealths seem to be a solid rifle. Has anyone heard what the rate of twist is on these?

If I had the extra cash, I would run one to kick around.

The one I handled was VERY smooth and the trigger was great.

Yes, it's controlled feed.
