Only a few hours left!

That would be a sweet rifle to own.

If I wasn't broke right now, I might bid on that, even if it is a .270. A proper .284 barrel is only a phone call or e-mail away!

Shoot all those ones you have gathering dust Kurt! There will be plenty of these floating around for a while. I bet someone has a hidden bid that isn't showing right now that is well over the amount listed with that many bidding on it.

I just threw a $5 jump in price at it and took the lead. I really don't need it! :shock:

Beautiful rifle.

 

[nvbroncrider]

I want I want I want. Great for a 6.5 build. I just don't have the funds at the moment.

That is a sweetheart right there!

Well that was an accidental purchase! I'd just read the thread about G.B. not really having true auctions any more. So.... I went searching for "true auctions" and found this one where the price was still really good and thought that I'd share with the forum - for somebody elses good fortune! Then Mr. 257 Ackley has to chime in thinking that it's already been bid up by one of all the people watching it . So I says to myself "self you should test 257's theory". I bumped the bid by $5 with over an hour left and I'll be darned if I didn't win it. :shock: The down side is now I have to wait a month to order my 338Rum barrel. The up side is I now own a stainless M70 Featherweight in .270 - Good mountain rifle for about $650 shipped. :roll:

That's funny, you did get a very nice rifle though, the stainless featherweights are one of the all time nicest looking rifles out there.

Oh man.... :shock: :mrgreen: Why couldn't it have been me?? I always seem to find the ones that look like a decent price and they are bid way past what shows by someone that really wants it...sorry

I agree! Don't let that one go Scott without prior notice! I have been looking around a little for the same rifle in a 325, but there seems to be slim pickin's. That 270 would be one helluva good mountain rifle. Congrats on it.

.257,
No worries! I'm a big boy and I don't do anything I really don't want to do. It's all good! 8)

Congratulations, Scott. It is a beautiful piece of workmanship. Shoot, I'll bet Joel will bid you up if you give him a chance! :mrgreen: I do like the stainless and walnut Winchesters, though.

 

[BK]

Yeah, let me know if you decide to dump that one (and Scotty doesn't want it). An M70 Featherweight is the 'proper' platform for a .270 anyway, not a 700.

 

[CatskillCrawler]

Nice stick there. I wouldn't be upset whatsoever. Re-chambering it would be sacriledge tho.

There's a used 99% S.C. built M70 Sporter in 30-06 nearby that's lasted over two months at $625. I think it's a good buy and it doesn't have half the character that your FWT has. You got a bargain and a half.

Mike -
with the rifles, optics and shooting accessories I have bought in the past month, there will be no whimsical rifle purchases by me this year :lol: . I am glad there isn't a significant other that I would have to try and justify a couple $4000 rifles to...yikes.

 

[DrMike]

I hear you, Joel. Precisely such a situation arose for me this weekend. This acquisition of fine firearms is a disease.

 

[257 Ackley]

If you can't find a cure, the rest of us are really in trouble...

 

[DrMike]

I've succumbed to the siren allure of adding more firearms. Assuredly, it has become the summum bonum of life for most of us. :roll:
