    Lovely looking rifle, but I cant stand that pattern checkering
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    If that is a Long action Win 70, with a short magazine... you have one of the slickest and fastest rifles ever made in 222/223.
    Long action, short magazine Win 70s where heavily used in competition because of that. Short and super fast bolt manipulation and nearly impossible to bind up.

    Bomb proof trigger is major plus.

    Yep I know But I still dont like the pattern of the checkering! One has nothing to do with the other

    better than the basic lightweight M70 that came out the same time. Featherweight style stock is usually darker and looks far less agricultural.
    Got a Lightweight 70 243 albut identical to the one @dannyb had. always liked the featherweight stock better
