Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Let's see those Pre-64 M70's

Some nice pre-64 Winchesters on display. I am down to two, a standard .30-06 SPRG and a featherweight .270 WCF (barrel is a Douglas). I am negotiating with a friend to re-acquire a very nice 1953 mfg .308 WIN FW (hope I can pull that off - another rifle I should have never traded away).

The .270 WCF. This was the first rifle I ever re-barreled. I had a great time and I learned an awful lot from both the machinist and the gunsmith that I hired to walk me through the process. This is my best shooting big game rifle.




This standard .30-06 SPRG, made in 1961, is the first pre-64 I ever purchased (15 years ago), wish it had been my father's, uncle's or grandfather's rifle, but it will have to build a family legacy as I pass it down.
