Description:
Collector grade BSA Royal Featherweight in very scarce .270 Caliber. One of only a few that I have ever seen offered for sale in this caliber. Surely one of my all-time favorite firearms, this is a superb example of this little known sporting rifle, and is identical in configuration to the 30-06 that I carried for my first 25 years as a sheep hunting guide here in Alaska. They are wonderfully light at just a tad over 6 pounds, shoulder and point beautifully, and NEVER fail due to their quality construction and robust CLAW extractor. They were certainly among the sleekest and finest handling sporting rifles ever made, yet are practically unknown and greatly underappreciated by the average American sportsman due to the low number of them that are in circulation. Several of the well known and very experienced guides here in Alaska carried these in favor of the Winchester 70 featherweights during the same mid to late 1950s period that either were available.
The specs on this one are as follows: S/N 8B605 made in England during the mid 1950s. 22" slim profile barrel with very unique factory milled and counterbored muzzle break,(aka fish gills) slender stock with sculpted Schnabel fore-end tip and original small cross pin in receiver area for strength, factory scalloped left receiver wall for weight reduction, factory scalloped and drilled bolt handle also for weight reduction, factory dovetailed receiver top with detent specifically designed to accept the superb Parker Hale scope mounts which are also INCLUDED, along with a high quality and exceptionally rare Norman Ford “The Texan” scope which are highly collectible in their own right.
99% Blue, 99% Varnish. Anodized aluminum trigger guard which has a scratch. The ill fitting spacers at the buttplate are a result of differing shrinkage rates and always occur on this model if left original and uncorrected.
A fantastic and difficult to find package that would be virtually impossible to improve upon.
Please add $75 for expedited and fully insured shipping from Alaska.
