Posted By: Rockman Featherweight Price Check - 12/13/22
I'm new to this, so please excuse any goof-ups. I have 7 Winchester classic stainless featherweights, all in original boxes, unfired, with hanging tags and lit. 1996 circa. 22-250, 243, 270, 308, 30-06, 7mm Mag, 300 Win Mag. Any ideas on value?

Wow. Very nice. What type of stocks? Walnut stocks or other?
Posted By: GAGoober Re: Featherweight Price Check - 12/13/22
What a topic for your first post!!!
I'll take the 308 and 300 win pending prices and pics
Welcome to the forum. Are you trying to sell on the fire or just get a price? I think that’ll help us determine a value. There is a fire price and a Gunbroker price.

Walnut stocks
Posted By: Rockman Re: Featherweight Price Check - 12/13/22
I'm just getting old and don't want to leave these for the wife to deal with. But i'm not dead yet! Got about 30 more guns in the safe, we'll deal with after this. I'll post some pics of the fwts. in a few days when I can get to them (had a hip replaced last week and not to mobile yet).
Following.

I would give my left nut for the 270! Do you take trades? smile
Location? If your close enough I may want to make an offer on everything
$1300-$1800 range IMO depending on chambering. GLWS

Oh buddy, that .308 would be nice to see
Posted By: Rockman Re: Featherweight Price Check - 12/13/22
Sorry, not interested in trades. I've been using one in 270 (obviously not new anymore) since the early nineties. Really, all a fella needs IMO
There was a very similar collection recently liquidated on GunBroker. They were listed as new unfired, but they did not have boxes and hang tags. The fact that yours do will increase the value to any serious collector by a minimum of 20 to 25%. I see top dollar for yours likely $1500 to $2500 per. I’ll link some of the completed featherweight GB auctions from that seller for you.

Sweet collection. A lot will depend on figure in the wood and cartridge it's chambered for. The one shown appears to be plain, but still worth quite a bit considering it is NIB. Like someone else already said, there is campfire value and gunbroker value. The early stainless walnut classics are a hot item. GLWS..

You're setting on $10k or better most likely. I would PM Redneck with this question. He'll know what they're worth most likely.

The 06 is worth about $200. In keeping with the spirit of Christmas, I'll go $250. Where should I send a check?

You probably missed the price-peak window but I’m curious about the 30–06. Feel free to PM me if you settle on a price.
Posted By: Rockman Re: Featherweight Price Check - 12/14/22
Told you guys I'm new to this. What is a PM and where do I find them? I can figure out some of these abbreviations but others I don't have a clue. I don't text, seldom use a cell phone, and still use a camera to take pictures. So bear with me. Thanks. To the guy who asked my wife's name, what the hell would that have to do with these guns? Besides she's not a featherweight.
Posted By: 160user Re: Featherweight Price Check - 12/14/22
"PM" means "Private Message". Once you get your post count up, a flashing little envelope will appear at the top right corner of your screen next to your username letting you know you have an unread private message.

Sorry didn’t mean to sound chippy. Seriously tho - your ‘06 would interest me depending on price.

Private Messages can be accessed after you have more posts.
Posted By: Rockman Re: Featherweight Price Check - 12/14/22
Thanks for all the interest. Just to clarify, the guns, literature, and tags are all in new condition. Some of the boxes are a little rough although they have stood up better than I have for the last 26 yrs. The walnut stocks are as new, but with no particular fancy grain.

I'd give my right nut for that .30-06 for the same reason as 160user - sentimental reasons. Between the two of us you'd have a full extra pair! Seriously though, it's my unicorn rifle to get back. I bought one new for $600 when I was 16. A reloading mishap (double charged cast bullet load is my best guess) literally took it apart in my hands. Then we started adopting kids and there was no way I could afford getting another one. I killed so many deer with that rifle. I've been looking for one since. I'd double clockwork_7mm's offer and go $500! laugh
Would you humor me and send .30-06 photos to [email protected]? Maybe we can work out a price if you're open to selling that way.

Thanks for everybody's opinions, estimates, and thoughts. I've settled on a price of $1650 each plus shipping. Apparently, I can't get any PMs yet because I haven't been on here long enough. Post an email address if you're interested and I'll get back with you. (the 308 & 300WM are sold)

GLWS. My unicorn is going to have to get away this time. They're worth what you're asking and I've no doubt you'll get it. If I lived in a state where I could use it for deer hunting I would figure out a way to fund it. But I don't. So I'll bump it and go cry in my room. smile
I'm here in Wyoming - Love to see them when the weather clears up.

If I were ten years down the road I would have bought it already. As of right now, I just can't justify buying it with four of five kids still in the house, one in college, one going to college next year, and the other three in 2nd grade and twins in 4 y/o preschool. Living in Iowa, I would have no current use for it and no opportunity to travel to hunt. Plus I have dad's M70 .30-06. It's a very different model than this one, but with plenty of sentiment attached to it. Some day I'll get one. I wish it could be this one, but I've made enough foolish financial decisions based in emotion to know that this is not the right one at this time. Some day

Beautiful. I am still convinced that configuration is the prettiest factory rifle I've ever seen, though I'm normally partial to wood/blued. I drooled over it at the gun shop in 1995 and I'm still drooling over it now.
Posted By: Rockman Re: Featherweight Price Check - 12/17/22
Selmer, hope your some day comes soon. If I were 10 years younger I wouldn't part with these! Love it here in Wyoming, even this morning (-14 and 10" of snow on the ground).

Wanting it is all the justification you need.The kid in college needs to get a part time job and pay his own way.A couple months of Ramen noodles never killed anybody. grin

It's more like selling to friends here. I don't hear much bragging going on about the so called excellent deals people get here. There are generally much better deals out in the mom and pop gunshops than there is here. However, the deals are decent here because no one wants to look like a di ck screwing guys over on prices. I've sold a few rifles here to some buddies, but when I want more money, I put them on gunbroker. Just how it is.. What I see with this thread is the OP does not know what they are worth. Placing the same price on each rifle. Some may be worth his asking price and others, not so much. You want to see someone bragging about deals he's got, check out the guy that bought a nice stainless classic walnut with a $350.00 silver Leupold on top and only paid $500 for the rifle. Just sayin..
