I've got a mind to acquire a .270 Featherweight in pre-64. Ive been looking for about a month, figured it wouldn't be that hard to find one. I have seen very few of them for sale. Most seem to be .30-06, some 243 and a few 308's. Are the .270's that hard to find? If so, why?

They’re out there, but in nice, original condition they command a premium. I buy them whenever I see one.
Much of the popularity of a 270 Fwt. has to be attributed to the writings of Jack O’Connor.
Also, a classic caliber and a classic platform.

A .270 Featherweight is on my list too. Preferably a '55 like my '06.

There have been a couple decent ones on Gunbroker, I'd expect to pay around $1200 for a nice shooter grade.

Yes, they are harder to find. They made less of them than other chamberings. One reason they demand a premium as well. Good luck in your search. When I was looking for one, it took me almost a year. Then I was offered 4 to pick from. I picked the one that shot the best and left the new in the box one alone. I could have bought that one for $1,700.00. The one I bought cost me $1,350.00, but it was worth it. Probably one of the best shooting 270's I've seen.

Just about my favorite rifle I own. It’s worth the search.
