For clean rifles that aren't beat up I'd expect to give no less than 1200 and probably be looking for 1500-2000 for clean representatives of them. That's just my wild ass estimate on them, but I know BSA or one of you other lucky bastids will find one in some old ladies closet for 500 bucks with the box and the bolts never been inside the gun
Alright, I just had to clarify. You were close!! Found a cool little 270fwt, made in 1956. It will be good buddies with my 1956 30-06fwt. The 270 is well used and has an older (very good condition) gloss Leupold 2.5-8x36 on top. Should I feel guilty that I paid $729.99? Bought a standard weight 270 yesterday as well, for about the same price. Good day for 270’s I guess??
Need pics to evaluate this deal.
Since we all know the 270fwt is kind of hard to find, this one had to go home with me. I would have been kicking myself in the AZZ, if I had not bought it!!
I need to install a red pachmayr, so I pulled the crap recoil pad off of it. Cleaned her up today, and scoped it. It's already been glass bedded and it looks like they did a fine job. After the recoil pad is on, I'll shoot it. Rifling looks to be in great condition. However, the rifle has seen a lot of use...
Btm metal was not on, as I was still cleaning the rifle. When I get it all put back together and shoot it, I'll give you guys a range report. I'm hoping it does half way decent!!
This SOB was dirty, but it cleaned up pretty good.. Front sight hood is on order!! Even though, this one is not 100% original, and not in excellent condition, they did not know what they had. Also keeping in mind that it came with a $300.00 (after further evaluation) Leupold:
Yes, I talked them down on the price^^^^. Bwahahaha..
