nikon buckmaster are in the price range you mentioned. I think mine is very good quality for the money and like the BDC. There is a 50 dollar rebate for them right now through nikon. there is a 4.5x14x40 and a 6x18x40

My advice from my experience is to get the rifle that feel's most comfortable to you. I own weatherbys, remingtons, and did own a winchester. I've experienced no malfunctions in any, though all are properly maintained. They are all fine rifles mechanically. The reason I sold the winchester is...

I have some sierra 6.5mm 85gr hollow point I was going to use for paper practice and the occasional long shot on groundhogs for some fun. Hodgdon's website lists some loads for an 85 gr. in 264 win mag but would like some input from someone who has used them. I'm not trying max load for it just...

Check the scope rear focus to make sure the locking ring is tight. I've had that happen to me once.

I don't know what price you want to pay but i just checked guns america quick and between 700-949 you can get a model 70 featherweight, browning a-bolt featherweight, or rem 700 cdl with fluted barrel. new. If I was to choose it would be the new winchester model 70 featherweight.

Remington had a special run of 700 cdl in .257 roberts a few years back. They are normally around 800-900 depending on place new. Has a fluted barrel and looks good. I have one in .264 win mag.

jrm40, Thank you for help. This leads me to further believe this rifle was made between 92 and 94 sometime.

I'm not sure what scope I'm going to put on yet. I have a 3x9 Sightron I can put on, but I've been hearing good things about weaver optics so I may give them a shot. I want something in the 2x7 or 2.5x10 with a 44mm or less objective. I spent last evening going through the rifle and I cannot...

Well I got the .280 featherweight with a simmons 3-10x44 scope for 500. It is a controlled round feed. The stock has some scratches with one little scratch in the blue on the receiver. I guess I'll have to buy a die set and some brass so I can hunt with it this year. I am very pleased with how...

If it says "Model 70 classic featherweight" on the barrel it should be a control feed and if it says "model 70 featherweight" it should be a push feed correct? It's been there for a month so I'm going to offer 500 if it is a CRF.

I was looking for a rough estimate on the value of a Winchester Model 70 .280. My friend saw it in a pawn shop and before I make the long drive I want a fair market price. This is what I know about it: My friend rates the gun in "very good" condition under the NRA standards. Has the red butt...
