You didn't say if you are buying or selling. If you're selling, wouldn't let them steal it from you. If you are buying, well, you will never own a finer rifle. I bought a featherweight several years ago and for $550 it was great--even the bluing was still intact on the bolt. Kind of a rough looking stock, but hey, mechanically perfect. This is much smooter action wise than the new model 70 which I bought last year in .25-06.
