    Interesting site. Thanks for posting. I inherited a Pre-64 Featherweight in 270. Nice gun and it sure was fun to blow up milk jugs full of water with it when I was a kid.

    Boy, you really tricked my inner geekiness to come out. I swear my initial thought was it was a site dedicated to pre-64 bit Windows applications.

    I won't do either because I can resist any temptation. Well, maybe only because the .220 and .264 were already gone.

    You, sir, had best unfuck yourself while there is still time.

    I've never quite understood the appeal of the pre-64 Winchesters and what makes them a "rifleman's rifle". I get that they were made when Winchesters probably got more love and attention at the factory, but the ones I've handled (have never shot one) didn't really stand out over other "good" rifles I've fondled or fired.

    What other good rifles are you familiar with from 1936-1963?
    Remington Model 30s are kind of clunky, based on 1917 and Remington 721 is an accurate shooter but not much to look at.
    The various European Mausers and Mannlichers are nice but expensive.

    From that time period? Aside from Mannlicher's full stocked rifles and some WWI-to-WWII-era military bolt rifles, none really. I was comparing them to more modern rifles. Maybe that's the issue, the mystique came from comparison to its peers at the time and is not really relevant in today's world?

    I saw a pre 64 Featherweight in 30/06 at the Cabelas in Centerville OH last week for anyone interested. I think the tag said it was made in 1958.
