Good find. I found a couple in the $800.00 range a couple years ago. That's a nice original looking rifle and great deal.
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

Cool rifle. One of the last XTR's. Kind of a transition model, since it still says "XTR" on it, plus it has 'featherweight" in cursive on the barrel. Nice find. What are your thoughts on it?

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1040357399I hate to admit but at 54 years old I have never owned a pre-64 Model 70. I had been keeping my eye out for a while, preferably a .270 Featherweight. This .30-06 came up and apart from the recoil pad, looked great. With shipping and sales tax I’m all in at $904. I think it was a decent deal. I’m buying it as a hunting rifle, I’m not a collector.

I think you got a good deal and Lock Stock and Barrel are good people to deal with.

Should make a great hunting rifle for you. Good luck with it. I was at a LGS the other day, and they had a STD 264 Win mag, 30-06 fwt, 243 fwt, and a 264 fwt. The fwt's were all priced at $1,100.00. Rifles were in pretty good condition, but I did not buy any. The 243 reminded me of two I've seen for $800.00 a while back. The 30-06 was made in 1963, and had a recoil pad on it. The 264 fwt was probably the best deal of the bunch... I would have still talked them down to $1,000.00, but it wasn't calling to me for some reason..
