Let's see your Winchester model 70's

[orygun]

Orygun, that's a beauty. I really like my featherweights. They are just about perfect when it comes to weight and balance. I'll bet your friend really likes that one.

I really liked it, but have focused on just a few firearms that I actually use.
Nah, he passed it along to someone else. I have no idea where it went. Oh, well.

Nice critters Joey, I do believe we've met before on a pack out or two, you were the one carrying most of the elk you and your friends were packing in 2015?
Does a gate by a certain state park ring a bell?
Shhhhh.

Quite possibly me. I've been known to pack a few out and am quite often behind gates.

Make sure you DON'T have oil in your chamber. Swab it out so it's dry as a bone. Oil in the chamber can cause a hydraulic lock and make cases stick...

Have you tried cleaning the chamber ?

Blued, kinda reddish wood stock, push feed, post 64. Matches my model 670A, just better looking.

 

[slingshot1943]

Ooo. I'm excited, I'll have to pull out my 70 tomorrow and share pics. maybe someone could help me identify the age. I bought it for $300 8 years ago and was very pleased to see what they're worth now.

I just picked up a heavy varmint in 22-250. Only problem is it's stamped 243. If it was other way around I would say someone bored it out, but you can't fill in a barrel lol, obviously a factory snafu anyone ever heard of this??? Very bizarre

My Winn model 70 short action, 26" heavy barrel in .308. I bought back in the early 90's and has been the best hunting rifle I have ever owned. It has harvested all the deer pictured below.

I don't know if I'd go that far. I had a push feed 270 XTR FWT that was quite the rifle. A buddy from another site wanted it for his daughter, so I gave it up to him. Well, for a certain amount of money anyway.... His daughter killed her first moose with this rifle:

This push feed model 70 really made a believer out of me. I like the claw extractor too, but these old pushfeeds are great rifles too..

View attachment 319015
This ones a pre 64 style with controlled feed just before Winchester closed up.

Those Classic Featherweights with the Schnabel fore end and the Fleur-De-Lis checkering are some of the prettiest rifles ever built anywhere.
I was always a Remington kinda-person, but a CRF version of one of those at the right price, chambered in .270 would push me over the edge for sure.
Really nice rifles guys.

Hang on to that one, it will be worth some money. Pretty rare.
