M70 Featherweight 280 Rem

Wow! That is a great price. Mine shoots lights out, and the one I had previous to my current rifle shot exceptionally well, also. I am so tempted to finagle a way to secure that rifle. Another .280 would not hurt my feelings. David, where are you? Here's your chance! Scotty, you need a .280 to challenge your 7mmWSM.

I'm here Mike, but I've set my heart on a controlled round feed like the CRF Model 70's, Ruger Hawkeye Sporter, or something similar. That is a nice looking rifle though and would probably shoot great.
 
Are you certain this is not the CRF? I've had both, and the one I have now is CRF.

I might have to call or check closer. From the photo it does not appear to be, but that's a great price and maybe I should call. Thanks.
 
FWIW, my first Model 70 was a push feed .280; it was scary accurate with 150 grain bullets. I'm not certain I was justified in divesting myself of that rifle (I exchanged it for insulating my house); however, I did pick up the CRF .280 within a couple of months of watching the other go down the road.
 
Mike I e-mailed them and it's a push-feed. I got my heart set on a CRF Winchester or a Ruger Hawkeye with the CRF also. Thanks so much for all your help. :mrgreen: :twisted:
 
Scotty,

That 280 Rem would be perfect for you, right smack between the 7x57 Mauser and the 7mm WSM.
Life is good with a 280 Rem. :grin:

Yeah, I think if I were stateside, I would get it Jim. Not being in the states, it is too much of a pain to mess with. It is a great price and the Push Feed part doesn't bother me a bit with a 280. Should it be a 338 or something like that, well, I would want a CRF, but I have had excellent luck with the Winchester PF's.

Scotty,

You could always have it sent to my house. I will have it all set and ready to go in no time. :mrgreen:

That is the one thing I do not have is a shortage of friends to receive rifles for me! :twisted:

I am a blessed man when it comes to that!

It is a sharp little rig. I almost thought about getting it for my wife as she voiced a little more desire to really put in some more time hunting this year. I don't know if it would get much better for her... I like the 280 Rem a bunch.
 
I guarantee that if I were in the States, that rifle would be mine as quickly as I could phone in my CC#.
 
Scotty,

Get it for your wife. Its shoots flatter than her 308 Win, same recoil and you have a mess of 7mm bullets.
Remember, this is all about her, not you. :grin:
You will be her hero. :wink:

You aren't kidding there. I just need to come up with the $$$ at the same time I find "the one". :)
 
Scotty,

I looked really hard at this one last week before I posted the link to you boys :grin:

I am really torn not to get it... but I have a pre64 on the line right now from an original owner who has put only 2 boxes through it....

Stay tuned.
 
I think you are in a great spot! It would be easier if we could just get both!
 
Man, that is dangerous!

Did you get that 280 yet? Just wondering what you were waiting for? :lol:
