Oh, that is sweet![]()
That's a helluva deal, especially in todays market. I've looked at one of these at Cabelas, a really nice rifle.Cabelas just listed a M70 Winchester 7x57 featherweight Cabelas special edition which appears to have a super grade stock and nice wood. It also has a good Burris scope for $1299.A very nice rifle!This is on Guns international.
Did you get it? I love mineI am the one winning that right now. Hopefully not bidding against a fellow AH member!
Yes he did. I stoped bidding on it as soon as i found an AH member was bidding on it. He would get more use out of it than me.Did you get it? I love mine![]()
This one went for $2625I’m curious to see how much this goes for given it’s been restored.

Thanks for the heads-up, and that does indeed appear to be a beautiful rifle! I called that Cabelas store, and the gun is Sale Pending to another gun store; they are just awaiting the delivery of some tax documentation. In the event the sale falls through, they have my number.Cabelas just listed a M70 Winchester 7x57 featherweight Cabelas special edition which appears to have a super grade stock and nice wood.

Yes i stoped at 4977. It is easily worth 6k in my estimate.Yes I did, @krish thank you I appreciate that. We’re you the one running me on it early?
That early run you and I went on probably kept some of the others away! Thanks again, I truly appreciate you letting me win that one. I now have my one and probably only “stopper”. It’s a nice round out to the top of my CZ portfolio.Yes i stoped at 4977. It is easily worth 6k in my estimate.

Have you recieved it? Do you have ammo? I'd love to hear how it feeds. Had to send mine back for work and it still doesn't like nickle plated cartridges.That early run you and I went on probably kept some of the others away!

Restored, so no real collector value. Its value is as a shooter. I would think of it as a $1200 to $1500 rifle. Hopefully the fellow who bought it will find a customer when he is ready to move it.I’m curious to see how much this goes for given it’s been restored.
It was a fairly anemic rimmed .375 round used in Lee Speed sporters and a few doubles. It was a wild boar an red stag class cartridge, and it was fairly popular in colonial India for chital deer (axis) and other animals of that class.
Your comes woth reloading dies. Thry are expen s ive.I have not received it yet. I asked a lot of questions before bidding, and the seller sent me videos showing it feeding rounds. It appears to feed the rounds smooth at multiple angles, but until I get it I will not know 100%. I will keep you all posted on it when it arrives. It is coming with 25 A squared factory round (I have several hundred A Squared for my 375 and love it) as well as 50 new Norma Brass and about 50 each of Barnes TSX 525’s and Woodleigh PPSN 600’s.
