Man it's nice to see a good ol wood stock hunting rifle! Seems like all I see anymore are ARs and heavy barrel long range guns.

It’s a sweetheart. Hard to beat nice walnut & blue steel. Overdoses of funky looking plastic stocks with Hubble Telescopes on them &
AR’s with gizmos that look like all the stuff sitting on the Beverly Hillbillies truck gets old fast.

 

[ad infinitum]

Some of the best looking rifles made. Nothing like the stock of a featherweight

Great article from 2018 on the Winchester Featherweight’s history and models.

Folks just don't understand what a BEAUTIFUL rifle the Winchesters were in that era of the "Classic Sporter" models and so on. I had a .270 Winchester w/ BOSS in a classic sporter edition and sold it because I was foolish....boy would I love to have that rifle back. Yours is a true work of art!

THANKS FOR ALL THE NICE COMPLIMENTS EVERYONE! This rifle was made in 2011 & is one of the last USA made rifles by FNH (which is owned by Browning BACO) in South Carolina. It’s after the New Haven Classic ones and before FNH BACO offshored everything to Portugal. Rifle roll mark says “Made in USA”. The new ones today say “Made in Portugal”.
