I received my Winchester M70 "Ranger Youth" for Christmas the year I turned ten. It's a great gun. Basically an XTR Featherweight with sights in a plain hardwood stock.
It shoots good factory hunting ammo around an inch and it shot a few coyote loads I handload around 3/4" with 70gr Btips and 87gr Vmax.
I always envisioned snagging a Featherweight stock for it and the past few years I've been seeing uncheckered factory overruns from the USRAC days on the net for cheap. I snagged one from CDNN Sports for $60. Can't beat that! It's going to need some fitting and bedding but it's nice. CDNN was gracious enough to throw in a 1-piece bottom-metal to 2-piece spacer. It works ok, but someday I may pony-up for a 1-piece bottom metal.
