Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors NOS Winchester 70 ?Caliber?

Well I have been looking for this rifle for a long time and finally found one NIB no less. I am so excited to get this rifle up and running.

Obviously a six digit New Haven CRF Featherweight. I typically am a strict stainless guy except for pre 64. This is now my only non pre 64 blued and walnut. Had to make an exception for this one.

I will let you guys have some fun and guess the caliber.

No cheating AK since you already know.

7x57?

270 WBY?

6.5x55 one of my favorites already with 1/8 twist.

30-30?

Sweet!!!

6MM Rem?

6.5 Creedmoor? 😜

I should have waited for more people to guess I posted the caliber a couple replies ago.


The rifle is in 6.5x55

Nice! I do like a Swede. I bought some ammo from Norma about a year ago, cheap. Like $20 box shipped and it came with a 140 grain partition. My Tikka sure likes that ammo.

Great rifle! I have its twin and it’s an excellent rifle!

Nice! Partial to that cartridge myself.

Thats one I wouldn’t mind owning have a featherweight in 280 and 257 Roberts. Have some new Swede brass set back just in case.
