Bought last week mint 1961 model 70 in 243 win. Has the original serial numbered Bausch and lombe (sp) scope . Butt plate is plastic. Non featherweight model. Does this pretty much sound stock? Plastic butt plates started late 50's? Came from factory with the receiver pre drilled for the scope mount? Ser no 509xxx
Out of town, will post photos later. Story was one owner, used for woodchuck hunting
I read under 6000 made in 243 in 1960

1st Winchester acquisition . Been wanting a 243
