I've owned over a few pre-64 M70's over the years and have owned a few post-64's plus a few custom rifles built on M70 actions. I've much preferred vintage lever rifles. However, I recall a few years back - five or so - spotting some Winchester custom shop M70's for sale. I vaguely recall one in .35 Whelan and I think with an octagon barrel. As these were Winchester made rifles new in the box, I recall I did make an inquiry about them - and they were long gone. Ring a bell with anyone?
