Just window shopping.......

I went by one of my local stores today and it's a good thing I didn't go two weeks ago. They had some FN model 70 featherweights for $567! The only one left is a .308 - They had a 25-06 two weeks ago. That would have hurt my bank acct. for sure. They also had a Ruger Hawkeye in 300win for $462 both are NIB. It's a good thing I have two of each caliber already. I'm thinking if that featherweight had been a 280 or a 25-06 or even a 257R I'd been in trouble.

Wild Bill's? If they had a Sporter .338 I might have made the trip!

 

[muleman]

Kurt,
It was Wholesale Sports on 82nd. If they had 338 sporter it would have gone home with me even though it would have ruined my M70 338RUM plans.

Hmm... I looked but never saw a .338. Bummer. I guess that's okay, because I really can't afford another rifle right now anyway.

 

[DrMike]

Those are good prices, Scott. I had no idea they would be offered that cheaply.

Momma Mia What a steal

Wow, what a deal on that Featherweight. That would be a Featherweight I wouldn't mind having.

You boys ain't kidding. I was just saying to Scotty that 721 for a 257 Bob over at Bud's in Kentucky was a good deal.. 567... GREAT DEAL.

I would love a 257 someday. I am thinking it would be a cool one for my daughter. I would really like something 6.5 first though, in that same case size...

Yep I agree. My daughters have a .243 but it is a Classic stainless Boss.. ( hate the boss). I did install a BOSS CR on it so it isn't as loud, but I would rather it just be a regular barrel.

I would sell it in a second for a pre64 in either 257 or 243......

Great prices!

Grab the .308 - you can do nearly anything with a good .308 Win and the new Model 70's are well built rifles.

I would love one in 280 rem!

 

[SJB358]

Same here.

I wandered into a local shop yesterday and they had a Sage VXP 4wt for 35% off. Its mine now!

 

[Guy Miner]

Cool. That should be a great trout rod!

 

[Wincheringen]

Its lighter than my current 6wt, and already feels like it will cast tighter in the small streams I am used to fishing. The 6wt does good on the river and smaller lakes. Besides the recent 20-30% price hikes on reloading components makes me want to find a cheaper hobby.
