Description:
This Featherweight Model 70 appears to be unfired. I bought in new, in-the-box listed as "new, unfired". I wrote a magazine review never fired it and kept it because it is a very nice rifle. Made in Portugal has all the Pre-64 Controlled Round Feeding Action but with 2 screw bottom metal. I think this a major improvement over the three-screw system. It also has the new trigger system thought to be an improvement as well. It also has a black Pacmayr recoil pad. The Featherweight weighs right at 7 pounds with scope bases on my electronic scale. The 22" long barrel has the original Featherweight contour with a short cylinder section and a small muzzle diameter.
I am a retired Custom Gunmaker who continues to pen magazine articles and am a private seller so you will be dealing with a person not a corporation. I bought this rifle at a good price and am selling to reflect that. I think these retail around $1200? I won't say it is "unfired" but it sure looks that way and I haven't shot it. I will tell the buyer the magazine the story appeared in but it wouldn't take a detective to figure it out.
I wrote that I find these post-war M-70 stock dimensions "is about as good as a factory stock can get". My hunting days are over, unfortunately but I would take this deer and antelope hunting here in Montana if I could. A life-long Jack O'Connor fan, the first custom rifle I built was a .270 and I still find this to be about the perfect Western game cartridge. This M-70 will be shipped in the original factory box with lock and tags.
Thanks, Steven Dodd Hughes
