Make sure you let us know how it shoots.

#1 Hunter,

I thought it was another model of Winchester's. Didn't you said it was the Ranger?

If it's the featherweight, then you DID get a GOOD DEAL.

Again, make sure that you shoot it to make sure there are no problems with it. I'm probably more excited about your new rig than you are. :wink:

What factory ammo are you planning on using?

Zachary

Win. Featherweight, probably my favourite hunting rifle. I have one in .257 Roberts(Imp), my buddy has one in .270. Both shoot great. The 270's only seen factory ammo. Mostly a 130 gr Federal Premium load. It did take a very large elk with a 150 Nosler Partition. A front on shot into the neck. The bull went straight down.
Strictly a hunting rifle, that barrel will warm up pretty quick and may start to wander after the 3rd or 4th shot. Of course you'll never need more than one.
