Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Any leads on a pre-64 .30-06 Featherweight for sale?

I bought a 06 FWT ON A referral from a friend for $1K and sold it to a dealer for 1500. You need to always have your eyes open and establish a network to help you look.

Now I'll have to look at this 8MM:) See it's all about networking. Also keep an eye out on the for sale section here. I know where you can get a nice std 06 for $1K.

Keep an eye out for an original std wt barreled 375 for me too...

Contact yar here on the Campfire, he has one made in 1956 in excellent original shape...

Several from Yar. all have been 95+ and fair money! v b winpoor

At one time Randy Shuman had 4 of the 9 standard weight 375's in his possession. He owned 6 of the 9 through the years. He doesn't do internet. He usually advertises in the GunList paper ever other month or so.

If you have Mr Shumans contact info please PM it to me, I delt with him many years ago, I had to send him 2 bucks and he would mail a mimograph 5 or 6 sheets of primo 70's, I haggled over 200 dollars on a mint BULL in 300 win mag! passed, I wish I had read Mr Rules book, I had no idea how rare BULLS in 300 Win Mag were!!!! Plenty of 300 H&H but just a handfull of win mags!!!! Live and learn!!! He was a no BS take it or leave it cat back in those days!!! early 90's.... v best winpoor

I saw one sell last year and have been kicking myself in the azz ever since!!!!!

Randy Shuman (717) 776-7861 is the last number I have for him.

Sure glad you don't have my phone number.

If you have his address, SS # and credit card info, maybe you could share that with us and the rest of the world too?

That phone number is plastered on two full pages of the GunList every other month. It is common knowledge.

mtech I sent you a PM

Thank you Mr sbrmike, very best WinPoor

Mr Grunchkin, Hint, you will not last on the Winchester Collector forum 60 days! very best WinPoor

Thanks I appreciate it. I might consider a std, if I can't find a Fwt.
Jack

Thanks, I got it.

60 days... Damn you are generous...

No, the one I had spotted sold for the $826 buy now price. Yours look's to be in much better condition. Good catch!

I sent him a PM. thanks

Why settle for Pre-64 .375 H&H Winchester when for not a whole lot you can have this....
From Hanks little Flemish factory....

If ones hands are large enough why not? It will require investment in professionally fitted hearing protection (I think it's called Game Ear?) but that is sound investment. Theoretically super Magnum action is preferred for caliber like this, but then one would not end up with lovely 9.5lb rifle that does not require gun boy to carry. Anyhow a big step up from Winchester Model 70 for sure, yes.
Oops, I forgot when you go to the range you will have the range all to yourself. That is the way I like it.
