Not mine. $550

It is at the Cabelas Outpost store in Saginaw,MI. It is on the used rack. Blue with walnut stock. Rifle looked stone mint to me. CRF.

I figured it might be someone's thing here. If I didnt have too many guns now, I might have gotten it for one of my boys. Nice little compact gun. Looked to be put together pretty well.

Hope this helps someone out. Just like the one in the link below, but with no box. Actually, there might be a box. I did not ask the staff if there was one.

Any questions, call the store.

The WSSMs sit on shelves a long time around here. Ammo is hard to find and expensive when it is found and brass is very expensive and it is hard to work and don't last long, so I'm told. I have passed on a couple in recent years because of this. I am always looking for a reloading challenge, but fighting for components is not the challenge I am looking for! If they were 223s, 243s or 25-06s they wouldn't last a day!

I have one in a Cooper Varmint Extreme. It's an extremely accurate rifle and I have had no trouble reloading it and have found brass for $30/50 rounds at a local store. When I bought the gun 12 years or so ago I bought 700-800 rounds of brass and have plenty of new stuff left so case life isn't that bad. I have loaded some 6X so far.

The gunbroker link goes to a dealer not the Cabelas store is Saginaw MI.

GSP,

The link was a reference for what the rifle looks like. Not the actual rifle I seen at Cabelas.

That is very cheap for brass...around here you are lucky to find any WSSM brass for less than $1.50/ea. As far as loading it, all I know is what I have heard, no first hand experience.

Jesss guess I'll keep my featherweight..

the trick to the 25 WSSM brass is to anneal before you use it.. 1st time I reloaded new Win brass for mine I spilt several necks..


annealed all of my new brass and no further problems
