.270 Report post Posted May 5, 2008 what's the first 4 numbers in the serial? that looks suspiciously like a post '64. Lark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stray Horse Report post Posted May 5, 2008 It's a 1951. The bolt is jeweled, that's why it doesn't look like a controlled feed. The stock isn't original, but done well. The bolt has been polished too. Also it has a replaced Winchester barrel which I'm almost positive. It does say Winchester and .270. I'll have to show it to a friend of mine tomorrow. The reason why I'm selling it is because it's a toss-up between this and a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle .30-06. It's one of the first ones with a floor plate. It's very light to carry in the mountains compared to the 70. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.270 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 is it a featherweight? i don't see a hole in the bolt, but some featherweights didn't have it. it doesn't have the knot in the barrel where the back sight goes either. it doesn't look like a pencil barrel like the featherweights had, so it may be a standard with a different barrel. the featherweights have alluminum trigger guard and magazine drop plate too. they only made 2 barrel styles on the sporters. 22" pencils on the featherweights and either 24, 25 or 26" on the standards, africans, westerners, alaskans and super grades, all with the same taper and sights. they made a super grade featherweight too, with the skinny barrel. with an aftermarket barrel and stock and jewelled bolt, you're probably pretty close to right on the price. if anything, maybe a little high. depends on how bad somebody wants it. when you go to a gunshow, they seem to want a lof for em, but nobody will ever pay you for yours what they want for theirs. it's a finicky market. 70's with uncut stocks, untouched finish, that don't have the monte carlo shaved off (most of em do) and in really good shape are worth more. but you seldom see one for even a grand. a guy had a .375 h&h african at the last gunshow i went to and he wanted $3850.00 for it. doubt he'll get that, but he'll get 3. if i'da had 3 in my pocket i'da bought it. most of the '06's and .270's, in standard grade that i saw were in the $700-$900 range. but they were pretty much original. if you have a photo of the entire gun, all the way to the end of the barrel, send it to me. i'm always interested in 70's that ain't wore out.

Thanks Casey Lark I'm trying to get a friend to look at it but, now it may be until Thurs. It's has a steel trigger guard and floorplate. The barrel is not pencil thin, but it is 24". The bolt matches the reciever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
