Shilohquestions on a particular mod 70
I found a winchester feather wieght XTR in my buddys pawn shop today for 500 with leupold rings and bases. It is nearly new except for some bluing worn off the bolt. But it has a synthetic stock. It is factory but i have never heard of a feather wieght with synthetic stocks. Any insight would be appreciated. Is this a good price?
XTR is a Push feed. Plastic stock too? Aint worth $500 . Aint worth $300. Far as Im concerned...
I just got a 1953 pre 64 feathewieght all origanal for $245 , Now thats a deal...

steve yI would think you could get the highest factory grade wood-stocked XTR in excellent condition for substantially less than 5C.
(BTW, a relative has one he keeps as a loaner that shoots plenty well.)

lawndartWinchester made some with a McMillan stock (with schnabel) a few years back. Then they made some with tupperware stocks. The McMillan stocks don't have checkering, the tupperware stocks do. If it has the McMillan stock it is a good deal (if you like the caliber). If it is a tupperware stock you can meet or beat that price on a new rifle.

ShilohIt does have a McMillian stock then, thats a good piece of news. I do like the caliber and I can get him down to 440 so should I go for it?
