$400-500. Does it have glass on it? Mounts, rings, sling, accessories, etc? That will effect the price. But a standard push feed 70 is worth $400-500 in a private sale. They sell for more out of shops (mark up), but I've gone through quite q few in that price range. - dan
I didn't realize that they made the Featherweight in .300. I have seen them in non-magnum, such as .270, .30-06, .257 Roberts, etc.
As for value, I would agree with the above, it is a standard hunting rifle, and worth about what was mentioned, depending on condition.

I think you are correct, the featherweight was not made in magnum calibers.
The Lightweight and the Westerner were in mag calibers though.
Perhaps somebody threw a featherweight stock on a Westerner or a Lightweight, which had the smaller diameter barrels.
Featherweights were made in 7mm Rem and 300 Win magnums, but these were later Classics in stainless/synthetic, and of course they did not have the light 22" Fwt barrel contour.....they were 24" standard contour barrels in a Fwt pattern synthetic stock.
