Cabelas in lacy wa had a 270 for 799
About 2 months ago doubt it’s still there
I can’t believe I didn’t buy it That's way too good of a deal to pass on a fwt 270!! You'll look long and hard to find a 270 fwt for under $1,200.00 these days. Sure it was not a std wt? Cabela's in different locations don't know their azzes from a hole in the ground about some rifles. That is something to keep in mind and take note of. I have a list of some Cabela's stores I've bought pre 64 model 70's and other older rifles from, below market value. The last one (270 featherweight) I bought (this year): ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/rA3AtJi.jpg) With a $300 Leupold on top. Never done heard of a Winchester 70 feather generator.

Cabelas and bass pro…..The pricing they put online is based on the price they paid. I’ve seen several FWT for less than 1000 come across the gun library. The high priced ones are because some bonehead paid too much for it and they now need their 30%. If it comes in as trade, the price may be a lot lower.
Fortunately for me, I’m not a FWT fan unless I’m 7mm RM because it’s not really a FWT. I like Classic Sporters in walnut post 64 so that helps with pricing. I’m still looking for one in .270 or 7mm RM. I want heavy and 24-26” barrels. You are really missing out, if you don't like pre 64 Winchester model 70 featherweights. As they are lighter, and they still shoot damn near as well as their heavy brothers (std weights). Check out how Dusty's rifle shoots. I've had them shoot that well, and still have some like that. They carry very well because they are balanced well and lighter. To me they feel better in the hands than a std wt. The op knows what he's looking for, and the guys that know what they are, search them out.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Never done heard of a Winchester 70 feather generator. It doesn't say it's a generator. After 3 pages here, hopefully the OP will be able to find what he's looking for. Personally, I'd just keep an eye on gunsinternational.
