Up for sale is an awesome book - The Model 70 Winchester 1937-1964, by Dean Whitaker!

If you're a pre-64 Winchester M70 fan, you're going to like this book. It's a great supplement to Roger Rule's Rifleman's Rifle. This is a 1st Ed, in 9+/10 condition (the pages are very crisp), and is signed by the author Dean Whitaker. Further description:

This book is written to assist the collector and/or devotee of the "pre-'64" Model 70 Winchester in his or her efforts to evaluate a favorite rifle, or to assemble a collection. The "Pre-64" Model 70, known and admired the world over, is today more in demand than ever. Popular since its inception with shooters and custom gunsmiths, it has, in recent years, become increasingly popular with collectors and investors as well. Developed and first marketed during the lean Depression years of the 1930's, the rifle became an instant success for a variety of reasons. First, the Model 70 was, in reality, a modified and improved version of an earlier bolt-action rifle, the Model 54. Secondly, the new rifle was a quality firearm, well-designed and well-made. Thirdly, the rifle was, from the beginning, an accurate one. In addition, the rifle was offered in a great variety of styles and calibers and was a Winchester, with the company name and mystique that is so closely associated with the fabric of American history. Chapter titles include Styles and Configurations, Production History and Statistics, Configuration Changes, Dimensions and Specifications, Collecting the Model 70 and Cartridges of the Model 70. Accompanied by numerous photographs. A must-have for afficianados of the Model 70 Winchester.

These sell on Ebay for between $200-300+, depending on condition (revised 1st Ed. going for $175+).

I'd like to offer it to the Campfire first for $200 shipped.

Thanks,
Eric
