That one is nice. I still kick myself in the azz for not buying the one a couple months ago for $1,100.00. It was even nicer. Probably the nicest factory stick I've seen on a model 70. I should have bought that damn XTR FWT, but at $1,100.00, it wasn't a "money maker"...
I know what you mean! Back in the 80’s my Brother worked at Abercrombie & Fitch when they were owned by Oshman’s. A&F always seemed to get some of the best looking guns from the manufacturers and they received a few very nice XTR FWT 257’s & 7x57’s. We picked up a couple of those but made the big mistake of trading the 257. It was gorgeous. Like you, we kick ourselves every time that subject comes up. Anyway I was very fortunate to get this one and I ain’t gonna let this one get away. I just hope I can get the feeding problem resolved. I’m confident I can.
