Thanks. Rifle's a '53 model 270 sporter. I had wanted one of those since I was a kid, finally bought one this spring. Mind if I ask how many you have left?

There's a saying, take care of your pre 64 model 70 and it will take care of you. :nod:
BTW, you can still find them new in the box at the Tulsa Gun Show, you'll just have to dig real deep.

Don't have any real interest in safe queens, but out of curiosity how deep would one have to dig for a NIB rifle? There was a '60 model FWT 270 in extremely nice condition (too nice for me to hunt with) that sold online last weekend for $1100.
Doesn;t take long to get rid of that problemcfpinz":2wg6vkof said:too nice for me to hunt with
