My Last Three! #11124258 04/16/16 Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 8,156 Western Pennsylvania D donsm70 OP Campfire Outfitter OP donsm70 Campfire Outfitter D Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 8,156 Western Pennsylvania Here are the last three Winchesters that I have purchased; 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 Life Member...Safari Club International Life Member...Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Life Member...Keystone Country Elk Alliance Life Member...National Rifle Association

Mr BSA, You will not understand the difference in the RAP of the 300 win mag VS the push of 300 H&H. 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

Period and Im not recoil adverse come the real shot vs paper. the very best winpoor I've shot the 300 H&H in a sweet azzed pre 64 model 70, so I am well aware of how the 300 win mag wants to tear your head off and make your arm and hand go numb while the 300 H&H feels more like a gentle nudge. It reminds me a lot of the 300 WSM in recoil pulse. The 300 win mag does not. The 300 win mag reminds me of a big bully that wants to pound the living chit out of you. Is that kind of what you were getting at??? Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

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.

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 really don't like feeling that way but have to admit the synthetic stocked rifles have edged them out for hunting.... The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Correct Bob, when going rain/sleet/hail/snow or shine the syn' s are the 4X4 with full lockers and a winch when it comes to filling a meat tag come hell or high water. But, OH DAMN!, for the pretty days when you can hunt with the beautiful girls. Trump Won!

Nice trio you have so far to boot, seems I have some catching up to do. Trump Won!
