sure is . one of the last of them made at the carolina USA FN plant .the extractor needed a little deburring to get a smooth feed with 6.5 swede as the rim is a poofteeth bigger than the standard 30-06 rim size . this is the one that i'd keep above all the others i have . okay , i'd have to hang on to the 222 as well
I’m building a custom 223 myself as we speak, with a Swan hopefully - and I so nearly picked up an old m70 Super for it - but i really need the 10shot mag as it’s primarily for field positional target - I ended up going with an old shot-out .204 Howa 1500 in walnut. I think push-feed might be better for the range anyway, and I couldn’t seem to easily find 10-shot conversion kits for the old m70s?
