Model 70 Featherweight 7X57

[SJB358]

Just happened across this. I know the one my boy has is a shooter and a really sweet rifle to carry as well..

You do this sort of thing just to torment me. :grin: You know I can't take advantage of these. :evil: I've always regretted letting my FWT 7X57 get away. I've had two of the FST .280s; both shot very well. The first was a push feed and the second was the CRF. It has accounted for quite a few deer for me. Those are some nice rifles.

I wish those .270 Weatherbys were CRF, rather than PF...

 

[SJB358]

Yeah, I do prefer the CRF's in the Model 70's, but to be really honest, my first big game rifle is a push feeder 7RM M70 and I have never had a single issue and this little 7x57 M70 feeds really nice. I couldn't turn down the 7x57 when I got it. It is actually probably touch nicer than the 1st one I posted and it shoots very well. I am actually thinking of bedding it and pillaring it when I get home, just to make it solid and reliable for my son. I would buy it from it, but he says he isn't selling!

Mike, it is just a little thank you for all the help you give me!

Mike, it is just a little thank you for all the help you give me!

Any time I can return the favour, I'll do it in a heartbeat! :twisted:

I know Mike. Trust me.. I am keeping a picture of you on my reloading room door from now on. When the wife asks me what I am doing, I will have her glance at the picture and I will state "just trying out something Mike told me to try"... You'll be famous!

 

[DrMike]

That sounds suspiciously like a threat. I have seen pictures of your wife shooting; and your reports indicate that she does so reasonably well. Man, that is just cold! :shock:

 

[SJB358]

Ha, your safe I think buddy.. She usually has both barrels pointed at me! She knows I am the root of all wrong doing when it comes to bullets, rifles, cases, reloading gears, primers, hunting clothes, etc!

 

[DrMike]

Stand your ground, Scotty. I need all the protection I can get. I'm an old man and can't run fast any more.

 

[SJB358]

Rgr! Will do..

Ooh, that one is making me weak in the knees...

 

[nvbroncrider]

I know Kurt its pretty.

The7x57 and the swede are awsome guns. If it's it's a mod 70 it had better be CRF for me.

You know Scotty, that laminated .280 would be a perfect sibling for your 7 WSM!

 

[DrMike]

That's the spirit, Hegland! Help ol' Scotty out by recommending what he needs and doesn't know he needs. :grin:

 

[SJB358]

I do like that CRF 280 Featherweight...

I wished I could find another Model 70 Laminated like the 7 and 270 WSM, in a 325. Now that would make me smile. I picked up the little 7WSM for a great price. Not so much luck on the 325, yet.

The swede is. I really like that thing if my projects were all done I'd be all over it.

Oh man! That is a REALLY nice one... I added it to the watched list. That little 6.5 Swede would really be something in the Model 70.... That one has alot going for it!
