And that's the biggest value killer - the 270 WSM.

I hear that a lot . I have unloaded a 270 WSM Kimber Montana and a 300 WSM Model 70 in the past year. They did take a while but they sold for a decent buck as well. I would not buy a new one in either cartridge any time soon. grin


Well, keep me in mind for any well priced Montana 300 WSM's you all need to get rid of! whistle

I'm selling a 300 WSM Tikka to a buddy, for $600.00. I like the cartridge well enough, but have others that work just as well. 30-06 comes to mind there. The nice thing about the old 06 is most of mine carry 5 and 6 in the magazine. I'll likely hang on to that stainless Ruger m77 300 RSAUM though. That thing impresses me.

I'm going to assume it's a 7 digit classic made after 2001. I'd make sure the chamber is not oval and is indeed round. Some of these earlier WSM's had issues. The 7 digit classics also had some issues of their own. This makes these rifles some of the least desirable of the bunch. Besides the plastic stock and duratouch walmart models.

Winchester may have termed this one a featherweight, when indeed it really is not. Basically a sporter thrown in a modified fwt stock. Nice rifles, but I'd want to be sure the chamber is nice and round and the scope mount holes are drilled in line with the center axis of the bore. Some of them were not. Some were bad enough that you could actually see they were out with the naked eye. If everything checked out on this rifle, I'd expect it to top out around $875-900.00.. There's not guarantee on that price even, as the 270 wsm is basically dead in the water. This is the first time you'll hear me say this, but if it were a BACO 2008 limited ediiton 270 WSM, it would be worth slightly more.
Per usual, using your charm to make friends. He basically stated he's not a Win guy and is looking for help. Rather than criticize maybe you could have nicely said "more information would be helpful". I'm not saying you're wrong about his rifle (because you're not) but FFS, why do you b---h about everyone's picture habits? Not everyone wants to spend the amount of time here you do. He's been a member longer than you and has about 44k less posts. Not everyone that posts in this section has your Winchester knowledge. There is a way to do this and not be a d--k. Cut him some slack, be decent and if you can't move the f--k on. your insults and bluster about pictures is old and tired.

Your sandy mangina is getting old. He didn't say he didn't know anything about Winchesters, just that it seemed strange that it's not marked featherweight anywhere. I gave an honest evaluation of his rifle. If you don't like it, you can move on.
