A week after I spent most of two hours working on the .25WSSM a customer brought in with a feeding problem, the rifle is back on the shelf. The guy brought it back and explained that while he liked the rifle and appreciated everything we did to fix its issues, he simply couldn't afford to shoot it. We worked out a trade involving that rifle and some cash, and he walked out the door toting a Remington 700 in .270. .270, Jack Connor's pet cartridge, has been around nearly 80 years, and is two things that the .25WSSM isn't - cheap (relatively speaking) and available. Walk into any sporting goods store or WalMart in the country, and you'll be able to find .270, usually somewhere around $12 a box or so. .25WWSM, by contrast, costs, on average, three times that, and you're going to have to do some serious hunting to find it.
I respect and understand his decision. Now, anyone who wants a very lightly used .25WSSM Winchester M70 with black synthetic stock, drop me a line and we can probably work something out.
