Not much help to you yet but I'll try. I found a very slightly used Extreme Weather Model 70 at a good price and just bought it home a week ago. I've not made it to the range yet (scope mounts I ordered have not come in yet).
The new style trigger is still an unknown as far as durability and other issues are concerned, but mine is quite good. I've not put it on a scale yet, but would guess the weight is around 3 lbs and it feels very crisp. The new triggers are supposed to be easily adjustable,but I plan to leave mine just as it is.
I personally trust the open trigger design on the old Winchesters and Rugers because they are easily inspected and cleaned. The new Winchester trigger is enclosed like the Remington. There is a lot of speculation that this design allows gunk to build up in the trigger leading to Remingtons that sometimes fire without pressing the trigger.
Only time will tell but I'm confident enough to spend the money on one and try it. Everything I've read from people who own them is very positive. I'm looking forward to getting to the range next week and finding out for myself.
