Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Forbes 24B - 30-06 For Sale - New Price

I am selling one of my two Forbes 30-06. This is the model now made in Westbrook Maine. I am the second owner and have 26 rounds logged in from two range sessions. You can see the two photos and they are exemplary of its performance. The previous owner is a member here and put a minimal number of rounds thru it.
The rifle has had only 150gr Accubonds shot thru it as the other Forbes is going to be the 180gr and 200 gr. shooter. Well, my pre'64's are doing so well, something had to leave.
Also, the paperwork and its shipped case will be sent just like it was from the factory. This is their black action and barrel - the mil-spec phosphate finish.
The stock and barrel are perfect with respect to condition.
The Forbes brand one inch rings will be sent but NOT the scope.
All FFL rules apply so I need a copy from your FFL. Make sure they will accept a rifle from a non-FFL holder. I will send
my MN DL for documentation. It will be shipped UPS with a Tracking #. Quickest shipping will be via a bank draft or the USPS MO. No Paypal. Be advised I am leaving 9-28 for a 7 day elk hunt. Lower 48 price is $1135 complete. No trades needed. The first "I'll take it" will be honored. PM any questions and thanks for looking.

Don't be bashful, PM your reasonable offer.
Don't miss out on a great rifle in a cartridge that needs no alibis.

Bump for a new price and the first rain in 40 days.

Pm sent

All PM's replied to. This model is the mil-spec phosphate barrel and action. The SS barreled rifles are being shipped but most likely for pre-orders. The full SS models are a year or so away.
Thanks for looking.

bump for a great seller.

Nice discount on a proven shooter. If it was lefty, Handwerk would be driving it west in a few weeks:)

I wish I had the cash but if you decide to entertain trades let me know! Good luck!

bigwhoop you are killing me

I just paid full price for my Forbes Labor day weekend after taxes it was $1525 so this is a steal!! I am very happy with mine!

I was surprised that even with my hotter 180 grain loads it was a dream to shoot, the day before my range trip I worried I had made a mistake loading up my standard hunting loads to break it in BUT I fired it 5 or 6 times and has having a great time and realized DUH it hadn't kicked bad at all.

Economic stimulus bump (thanks Obama)

Dang it... PM sent with offer





ps: Steve, if you're reading this. I'm not happy with you for putting crazy ideas in my head.

Deal of the day bump.

Nice rifle guys and a nice guy to deal with. Both are good to go!

good deal bump

I've watched this rifle for three days and have been so tempted and I shoot flipping left handed!

What the heck is up with you righties? A 5 1/2 lb premium rifle (basically new and at a 30% savings) isn't good enough?
Opportunity is wasted on the wrong people.
