Today I came across this rifle and I'm thinking about buying it. The metal looks new and the stock is so nice I at first thought it had been very nicely refinished, but after examining it for an hour I now think it may in fact be original...aluminum butt plate with most of the black paint on it,correct sling swivels and all. It is missing the front sight hood.
Here's the unusual part...it also comes with an extra .243 barrel.
I have not seen the extra barrel yet, the LGS said it's in their safe and I'd have to come back tomorrow to see it. It's really in "safe queen" condition, but I'd like to hunt with it. Barrel is stamped M70 Featherweight .308. Serial number 2599xx
What would you pay for this rifle?
Thanks for your help...
"Safe Queen" factory original condition would be valued around $1600. The extra barrel isn't worth much because it has be be fitted to receiver by gunsmith. In modern state of the art modular rifle like Sauer 404 the extra barrel would be worth substantial amount.
