Not bad for a skinny guy and and 25 yards 25 yards? Heck, I can't see THAT far. Didn't you notice the powder burns on the target?
I have nothing clever to put here.

You know, if you drop that rifle in the bog a couple times, then get a little beaver P on it, it would probably tighten that group up a little.

Those old Featherweights are beautiful. I had one years ago in 257 Roberts. One of several I kick myself for letting get away That would make me drool!

I love my old 70's. I built my Whelen from a featherweight, and have a standardweight 270 that shoots sub moa, even though the barrel has lots of copper.
Once years ago in CA I got to see a guy's collection that was mind blowing. He had over a hundred model 70's, many new in box and he had all the calibers ever made and some from the custom shop.
Great guns.
Pete I would have loved to seen that!

Beautiful rifle-have never owned a Model 70 but have a keen interest in buying one these days.Handled a fancy one the other day and found it quite heavy so I am going to try to find the featherweight version rather than the super grade.I really can't stand the "Tupperware" party going on out there right now for rifles and even shotguns-wood stock are so so much nicer than the plastic crap everyone is putting out. Yep, the SG's are heavy but most have amazing wood on them.
