Yes, I have searched, I have used the uber-google search engine.
I have not found any reviews on the NEW Win Stealth. I am specifically interested in the .308
What I have found is that it is the same action as used in the FN PBR series, it appears to nothing more that a FN PBR XP with an unfluted 26" 1-10" twist barrel. They both come in the B&C stock that does not have the palm swell.
To top it off, the winny is avialble for about 717 bucks. No pressing need to upgrade the stock, according to some, a trigger that can be adjusted, good twist rate and controlled round feed.
Just no damn range reports.
I am conflicted. I would like a 700P, but they charge 870 bucks for what is essentially a 750 dollar rifle. The 700P is no longer made on a separate line as it once was. It is nothing more than an SPS varmint in an HS precision stock with spotty QC.
I had just about made up my mind to buy a 5R, but I can't quite make the commitment. I would like one, but with out the extremely long throat, and for damn near 1000 bucks, it is a tough pill to swallow. I like the 24" barrel length, I like the 5R rifling, I like the stainless steel. i don't like the long throat and again, the spotty QC.
I realize that any factory gun is a crap shoot, but is this Stealth too good to be true?
