To tzone: I am going to guess that you will think it was well worth the wait!!
I wish I had realized that that was available as a Shot Show Special! I asked a couple of dealers about it a few minutes ago, they said they could,not get one as they were all spoken for! I own a lovely JOC Model 70 but intend to turn it over tommynson pretty soon! For my own use the .280 FWT would have got used! Yes the wait on these can be a long one! I have waited for 2 years to get a Model 70 Featherweight Compact in .243. I am wondering what the chances of getting one with the 22 inch barre is, maybe some day on Gun Broker?
