I strongly suspect if one loads cartridges to same performance level and use rifles of same specs the recoil will be identical. Anyhow the .300 WinMag is far better choice. "Weaklings" can even buy "Reduced Recoil" loads if they want to. If one lives in wonderful place like USA and has enough cash they can have Superior Ammunition "roll" their cartridges can any reasonable level they desire. Lol wtf so buy a 300win mag if you can't handle the recoil shoot reduced loads in it. Hhmmm here is an idea if you can't handle the recoil of a 300 win mag buy an 06.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Nice rifles. I have a four digit model 70; 30-06, no holes in rear bridge either; about 90% or better.Could you give me a ballpark figure of the retail value? It's all original.
thanks, Doug

Doug,
Sounds a lot like mine.
I acquired mine as part of a trade deal, but I would put the retail value at approx. $1200.00.
They may be worth more to someone looking for one, but I think the $1200 is a pretty fair number.

I know some guys that have narrowed their collection down to 3 or 4 good usable rifles... 243 fwt 270 win fwt 30-06 fwt 338 win mag and 375 H&H...... Well, that's 5, but who's counting.. Plus, I haven't bought that 243 yet...  That's a good list!!! My three are: 270 std, 30-06 std, 338 win mag. I may still have room for a 270 fwt in the stable.  Eric

Here are the last three Winchesters that I have purchased; ![[Linked Image]](http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa333/donsm70/IMG_2330_zpsaoyxmwza.jpg) Top is a 4 digit, 1937 Model 70 in the old 30-06. Rifle is unmolested with no holes in the rear bridge. Middle is my "new" deer rifle. Yes is is a 270 in a 1955 Feitherweight version. I bought it locally with very good metal and a worn smooth stalk and found a McMillan to drop it into. Bottom is definitely a keeper for me. It is a 1954 Supergrade in 257 Roberts, virtually spotless, thanks to one of our members on the Fire. Thanks for looking. donsm70 Great pieces!!! Wow!!!

I shot one then the other and could not understand the real reason!The pollen is killing me down here today but maybe the 2" longer barrel of the H&H played a role or the shape of the brass? My pre 64 ,300 win mag is staying and Ive moved 2 out of 4 others BUT its more from a collector standpoint, the 300 win mag is a kicking SOB! Period and Im not recoil adverse come the real shot vs paper. the very best winpoor [/quote] High quality bench assembled rifles have stocks designed to minimize felt recoil. Here is nice Mauser actioned rifle from Johann.... There is little premium for names associated with this rifle...

Very nice Donsm70, especially that SG Roberts. Last three for me have been: 1914 year model '07 Winchester in 351 SL................. A late 90's New Haven M-70 300 Rum in a plastic stock. And a 1949 year model 22 Hornet M-70 supergrade.

There's some on here somewhere Buddy, I think Elk posted some awhile back, it's laying in the grass beside my old SG 300 H&H.
I'll go see if I can bump em up to the top.

They're all nice Don, but I sure like the SuperGrade!

Thanks Elk, and yes, the little Hornet is on the right, the 300 H&H on the left is back to wearing it's old Lyman receiver peep and zeroed with 220 gr Partitions, it'll go to 200+ real easy with a good rest in the field.
