Re-listing this rifle with updated info price and pics.

I bought this rifle from local classifieds. Gentlemen had never shot it. I listed this a while ago at $850 but no takers. I was going to keep it and performed the following in prep for a hunt:

-Trigger adjust
-Removed New Haven gummy bed and added Marine tex. Very minimal bedding material.
-Mounted talley LW.

Still never shot it but in getting it ready I noticed a pin size dot on rear tang and of course the light scratch on the trigger guard that I mentioned during my last post.

Any-way beautiful little rifle and still un-fired!!

Lowered price to $775 shipped CONUS.

Very nice! Bump

Very nice rifle

Couple questions...

1) what is the length of pull?
2)how long is the barrel?

Thanks!

LOP is 13...someone out there keep me honest. It is shorter than standard LOP of 13.5, I think these compacts are 13, I can measure when I get home.

BBL Length is 20"

Any interest in a trade? Classic featherweight 270. Low 5 digit sn. Immaculate condition

13" LOP on the Compacts.

BTT---Not considering trades at this time.

$760 Shipped CONUS

Arent't the compacts identical to the Featherweights except for the recoil-pad?

They have 20" barrel and a shorter LOP of 13"

I've got one of these in .308, wish it was a 7-08, and it's a nice rifle and a good shooter. The trigger was horrible on arrival, but it's a "real" M70 trigger and an easy fix. I bought it for my boys, as they come up, so I'm happy to see it shoots decent with cast bullets into an inch at a power level that would easily take northern whitetail out to 200 yards. It's a mini Featherweight, for those who are looking. I have a hard time seeing how this won't go for the listed price.

Weight?

Light. All compacts are light.

In my experience, they usually weigh between 6 1/4 and 6 1/2 pounds, most often toward the higher side.

The three I've had experience with have been very accurate. One that was on loan from Winchester for a while, which I stupidly returned. Once I realized my mistake, found another and bought it. The third belongs to a friend, and has taken umpteen pronghorn, deer and elk over the years.

I'll vouch for the one JB had, it's an honest MOA rifle.I did add a 1"pad to lengthen it a bit, but it's a great little rifle. --- Mel
