I'm looking closely at a 1640 I found several days ago. Supposedly, it's in a McMillan, but the seller cannot confirm this (not sure which McMillan). The starting bid is $599.00 and no one has bid on it yet. Seems to be in great condition. Epoxy bedding is said to be excellent. Weighs 7.4 lbs. w/ rings but no scope, which is a bit heavy, but not too bad. I understand that the 1640 is one of the better 98-type actions made. I thought the 1640 came with a 24" barrel but this one has a 20" barrel, which is confusing - I guess it could be a replacement barrel, but it looks original. Caliber is .270. What say you?
