The one I have,i replaced the stock with one those Ram line stocks barrel is free floated it shoots decent and your correct the feather weight guns dont shoot as well as other models but good gun for those long walks in some areas I hunt .
What make the rifle? Mine is model 70
Winchester bought new in 80s . Yet these lightweight 22 inch barrels not as accurate as the heavy barrels . I feel comfortable with this rifle at 150 yards
