[QUOTE="Tex_Hunter, post: 1914239, member: 31749"] I have one of the newer "Baco" M70s, a Supergrade in 280 Remington. I haven't been very impressed so far; I have tried 2 different bullets and 3 different powders and ~1-1.25MOA has been the name of the game so far. This may be my fault as I am shooting 160gr bullets (rifle has 1:10 twist). Finish on the stock is mediocre, I actually like the satin finish they are putting on newer rifles, but there's no real detail in the woodgrain, and the inlet isn't square (barrel nearly touching one side of the channel and big gap on opposite side. Ive seen the same issue with Remingtons so... take that however you want to. I had an older Post-64 "Classic" Featherweight that was one of the last generations to be produced in New Haven, and it was a shooter. Had a 'smith tune the trigger to 4lbs and it would shoot consistent .5-.75MOA with factory ammo. It got stolen about 6 years ago though. So from my example of 1... the new ones arent too exciting.
