The pre 64 model 70 270fwt is damn hard to find. Good score on those buddy. That 223 rem featherweight is one you also don't see much of. There is an XTR FWT 223 rem for sale in the classifieds here. Someone needs to buy that rifle. The closest thing I have is a 22-250 XTR FWT that I bought last year. Dang thing is almost too purty to hunt with. I've taken it to the range a few times, just to check loads and accuracy after glass bedding it. She's a shooter too! Just the way I like them..


Wow…..I missed the “Pre 64” part! ☹️ These are just XTR’s…..as is the .223 Rem! Though, there is a “Pre 64”, 264 WM in the family. My wife killed her very first big game animal, a moose, with it. It was her ex husband’s rifle! memtb


You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel
