This was my father's hunting gun for several years, but alas, it is righthanded and I am not. Winchester push feed Model 70, featherweight, in .280 Rem. It has some honest hunting dings and wear. Mostly small handling marks and bluing wear on the corners. But the upside is that it truly does feed like eggs through a hen, and has a very nice 2 1/2# trigger. It also has very nice wood--not drop dead gorgeous, but much more depth, contrast, and color than what one sees most of the time. I would call the accuracy of the gun "an incher;" occasionally shot less than an inch, but more often is an inch and change. It weighs 7# 13 oz as shown the the full size 3-9x Leupold, and LOP is 13 1/2" to the original Winchester pad. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/utah708/P6052756-1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/utah708/P6052757.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/utah708/P6052759-1.jpg) I fear my modest camera and skills cannot do the wood justice. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/utah708/P6052761.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/utah708/P6052760.jpg) It will come with rings and bases, but not the scope for $550 plus shipping. I also have some Federal factory ammunition that I would sell to the buyer.

Seems like this should be sold already. Tempting, but I don't need two 280's.
