Description:
One of my all-time favorite rifles, here is a superb offering of the ultra scarce and little known BSA Royal Featherweight in 243 caliber! I have only seen about 3 of these ever listed, and none were even close to as good as this one. As Alaska's Master Guide #133, I carried an identical but 30-06 Caliber version of this rifle for about 25 of the 36 years of my career. They are wonderfully light at just a tad over 6 pounds, shoulder and point beautifully, and NEVER fail due to their old-world craftsmanship and robust CLAW extractor. They are among the finest sporting rifles ever created and, much like the very similar Husqvarnas of the same era, drastically underappreciated by the average American sportsman. The specs on this one are as follows: S/N 11B*** made in England during the mid 1950s. 22" slim profile barrel with extremely cool (though perhaps unwarranted) factory muzzle break, slender stock with sculpted Schnabel fore-end tip, factory scalloped left receiver wall for weight reduction, factory scalloped and drilled bolt handle also for weight reduction, factory dovetailed receiver top with detent designed to accept the superb Parker Hale scope mounts which are also INCLUDED. Several other popular brands of scope mounts will also work on these dovetails. 98% Blue with a few scattered marks, 98% Varnish. The inconsistent shrink rate of the plastic butt plate and pistol grip cap and their associated spacers is perfectly normal with all examples of this model, but also fairly easily remedied if it bothers the new owner. A fantastic and exceedingly difficult to find package that would be nearly impossible to improve upon. Effective immediately, we will be donating $100 of the proceeds from each firearm sale to the GoFundMe COVID-19 Relief Fund that is raising money to directly support individuals affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including those working to keep people safe, find a cure, or support their communities. We are also offering FREE expedited/fully insured shipping on all full price firearm purchases to our buyers until further notice.
