 I've got three pre 2006 featherweights....
A stainless/synthetic 7 mag,  a 270wsm and a 300wsm. 3x9 Zeiss on the first two and a Zeiss 4.5x14 on the latter.
I love the featherweights....they fit like a glove...I love the smaller grip and forend....
They are great shooters too!

I have one that's a stainless featherweight classic in 270 wsm.  I picked it up about five years ago and really like it.  I sold a stainless classic in 300 wsm because I really needed the money, wish I could of kept that one.

I have one. Which I purchased in 1978. Controlled Feed. .300WinMag.  I bought it for $150.00 from a guy I worked with who only put 10 rounds through it.  Came with a 3x-9x Leupold Gold Ring Scope. It's one of the best shooting rifles I own.

My first hunting rifle was a pre 64, 30-06 featherweight with an old 4x weaver scope. My friend next door gave it to me for mowing his lawn for two months. i think i made out pretty well :chuckle:

My favorite rifle of all time  :IBCOOL:
I'm a young guy who had recently hit the quarter century mark...man I'm feeling old  :chuckle:.  I have one Pre-64 in a .270 manufactured in 1953 and would like to have many more.  In the mean wile I'll just have to play with them at work.  I can easily see myself becoming a Model 70 collector  :drool:
