Winchester Pre-War Model 70 22 Hornet #10732476 11/27/15 Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 24,581 Likes: 2 Bozeman, MT shrapnel OP Campfire Ranger OP shrapnel Campfire Ranger Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 24,581 Likes: 2 Bozeman, MT This is a nice older Model 70 serial number 15XXX, made in 1938. It has been drilled on the rear bridge, but the rest of the gun is original. The metal on the floor plate has lost most of the bluing, but the rest of the gun is very nice...$2599.00

I have a 30 govt 06, '38. Condition looks a lot like this one. Bluing gone from floorplate, the rest of the bluing is good. I wonder if there was something in their process that made the floorplate wear faster. Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch.

About 1961-62 I bought a used one in K-Hornet. The dealer also had a new Savage 340 22 Hornet. They were the same price. I bought the M70. While I was in Korea next year, my mother moved, and sold it. Bruce

I was thinking of putting a high end Bushnell scope on it for armadillo hunting.

I'm only about $2K short. Here's a bump for you. Question: were all the old M70's built on the same long actions?
