270 WSM Featherweight Stainless?

[dezmick]

I found this, i know that on the Winchester web site they do not list the stainless featherweight as a current model, so when was this rifle made and was it made at the current facility or the old one?

These were produced around 2004-2005 in the New Haven plant, and for a brief while last year in the SC plant.

Man, I am pretty sure I would be all over my wallet to find one of them in a 325WSM!

 

[DrMike]

How about blued, Scotty?

I already saw it Mike... Once I pulled up the Stainless one, I searched for the 325's hoping there would be one. I would take a blued one in half a heartbeat as well. Wouldn't hurt my feelings in the least..

I do think this fits here though...

I should have known that the King of Enablers (East) would have already discovered that one. You know, if my 325WSM didn't shoot so well, I'd never encourage you, Scotty. However, it packs a wallop and drops game right smart. I just hate to see you without a good 325WSM Featherweight in your arsenal.

I am forwarding this to the Sergeant Major (wife).. We shall see what the verdict is!

 

[DrMike]

Bad move, Scotty. It is easier to obtain forgiveness than it is to obtain permission. Trust me on this one.

 

[SJB358]

Mike... All I can say is it is good our wives don't frequent the same grocery store, cause I am pretty sure we would be living in the cold!!!

Jim would probably be there as well, he is the silent enabler amongst us all! The wives would have us over a barrel! But we would have a gang of rifles to feed us!

 

[DrMike]

I agree. I think we should agree that our wives will not be allowed to meet one another; and if they do, they can't talk about our individual proclivities. :shock: You've served as a great excuse for more than one rifle entering my house. :mrgreen:

Whoa, that might make it a little "tense" for meeting your sweet wife this Spring Mike. I have to wear a helmet here where I am at, but I didn't think BC was quite so hostile.....

That's okay, I told my wife a few of the rifles in the safe were direct representatives of you... Hopefully she doesn't try to give them back.....

Way too funny guys. Note to self don't ask for help "finding" something either.

 

[DrMike]

Okay! Things are looking up. On second thought, I do want to meet your lady. I'll casually mention that I believe you have some items that belong to me. :grin:

Evil! I like it!

Scotty just get that Stainless one go with the synthetic stock. Then order a FW stock on gunbroker and your gonna come in at around $1000 versus the $1600.

 

[DrMike]

Or ask me. I have a Featherweight stock that will work. If I don't get rid of it, I'll just build another rifle. Please help me, Scotty! :twisted:

 

[nvbroncrider]

Problem solved.

 

[SJB358]

Man, so many folks willing to assist! This place is GREAT!

I have thought about getting the Ultimate Shadow SS and restocking as well.. That is another option I have too I guess... So the wheels continue to turn!

 

[DrMike]

Turning wheels could lead you to places you weren't anticipating if you don't take control, Scotty. Act decisively, man.
