A few months ago, CDNN was selling them for around $60. While it has an attractive schnable, it is, to me, just another injection molded stock, no more and no less. Yep, just a Tupperware stock, but if he likes it I see no harm in using it. It can be glass bedded and hunted hard. That way he can keep the original wood stock in good condition.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I think I'm going to sell the Tupperware stock and just keep it as is. The value isn't there to justify selling the rifle and there's some sentimental value to it
Thanks guys!

I have an older Winchester XTR festherweight in .270 that's a push feed and have thought about moving it but given the market for them I think it's worth more to keep it. I've heard good things about them but wanted to seek opinions of the experts here...
Thanks guys
Drummond I've built custom rifles on those XTRs many times.. Excellent examples, overall..

two of the most accurate rifles i ever had were the push feed XTR's. one i swore i'd never part with but ended up needing a propane refrigerator and my rifle went down the road.
as previously posted the xtr's are the sexiest models
slim, trim, and full of fire

They have a good extractor even better they have a 3 position safety good serviceable trigger. Are butter smooooth ...and yes I have built several over the years for people and all shot great...resale value won't be as good mainly because of the mystique of the pre64...(oh it's just a push feed)...
Build away you will be pleased...
