AKwolverine: One of my references shows the suggested retail price in 1963 for Featherweight (non-Supergrade!) Rifles in standard calibers (non-264 Winchester magnums) to be EXACTLY $139.00 - which is the same as shown on the receipt/invoice!
I think someone found this gun laying around and misquoted (made a mistake?) and charged that price to the buying entity - that price being for the the standard Featherweight price and not the Supergrade price?
Either way I would like to own that nifty rig - but NOT for $10,999.00.
Long live the Riflemans Rifle.

P.S.: My extrapolation puts that Rifles date of manufacture at March 15th of 1960 - I wonder were it sat around at for that length of time?
