I just gave my last one away... That is a sweet rifle. I think you will be happy with it. Let us know how she shoots with that JOC load. Should be a great combo for that rifle...

That's great that the metal confirms its a SG. Given that, you can't go wrong at $2k. I agree, even with some stock issues, you should be able to double your money on it.
Sounds like you have done due diligence. I still wonder about that cheek rest Monte Carlo issue, but for $2k I would do my wondering while it was sitting in my gun rack . . .
I suspect pre64win has front sight hoods for sale. I have bought things from him in the past and was well satisfied. In my experience the descriptions can be trusted.

glad you purchased it. that bbl is very rare with the 3 line address, not made for very long & not that many & only in '55'. so, the bbl should have the date on the bottom also. I didn't see the serial number on the rifle.
Looks like Photobucket is trying to force people to upgrade.
Thanks for the attempt.

Ok, you guys can click on the link and view the pics. It's not as convenient as before, but at least we can view the pics of this SG FWT. Here are a couple more:

I think you should buy it, examine it and then if you really like it, don't let go of it... Like others have said, just a regular ol 270 fwt sells for $1,500.00. if it's in good collectible condition. Even if this one is put together, it looks like it was done well. It would be cool to hunt with a nice supergrade like this anyway... Just a lot of cool factor going for it. Chances are, it will shoot very well since it's glass bedded. Mine was extremely accurate, especially with 130gr. nosler partitons. Seems like that bullet just works well in these pre 64's.
