All,
I have been lurking on this forum for years and finally decided to ask a question.
I have a couple of Model 70s produced since the move to South Carolina, and I like both of them (a Featherweight in .257 Roberts and an EW in .338 WM). I have always wanted a Super Grade, and am considering buying one in .270 Winchester. It has been several months since I handled a Super Grade so I need some help.
My questions are:
1) If you have a post-2008 Super Grade, do you like it? If so, why? If not, why not?
2) My understanding is that the bottom metal and pistol grip cap are both steel. Is this correct?
3) I spoke to a customer service rep today at Winchester, and he said that the forend cap was dyed wood. Is this correct?
Thanks,
SR
