Swedish M96?s

Winchester Model 70 featherweight in 6.5x55mm sold in meer minutes on the EE this afternoon. Knew I shouldn't've stayed for that extra coffee at the gunshop this afternoon....

I saw it when it came up. But no matter how I crunched the numbers, I just couldn't handle the bill right now. I too am searching for one of these, but I would prefer the CRF model. Although if another pushfeed in that condition shows up at a shop, the plastic might get yarded out anyways.

You can get a Timney's for about 45 bucks form lockstock.com

However, you can get a new Tikka 6.5 x 55 from Ellwoodepps for 599.00

So for the extra 300 bucks, I would be buying the Tikka. I have had a couple m38's/96's. While OK, they are no way comparable to the tikka.

I think you`d best bring your Tikka and come shoot against my old M38
I`ll even let you use your fancy scope to even up the odds

If I would've been on-line when it came up I would've given myself carple-tunnel typing in the words "I'll take it" in a rush PM.

Even though I couldn't really justify it either this time of year with "other bills" I would've found a way somehow.....
