Page 171 of Rule's book shows three Super Grade floorplates, presumably all legit. Each one reflects some variation in the stamping.

For pocono: Well…that certainly reflects some variation.

So it seems fair to say there are some fairly rough legitimate floorplates that made it out of the factory..
Ser # on this winchester is 193xxx
What would you guys consider to be a fair price on such a rifle
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...?
She's gone shootin..

What would you guys consider to be a fair price on such a rifle I am not even going to guess myself, but I'd easily come off 3500 for such a rifle. Probably more though. Super Grades can get weird in prices.

For pocono: Thanks AK I would like to own this H&H Cert, check your pm’s The SUPER GRADE stamp was probably made with individual characters/die placed in a master holder and then stamped on a supported floor plate that was held in a jig. Obviously, at times the employee who set up the holder didn’t give much thought that all the individual die fonts should be the same. Another thing was that generally Winchester inconsistencies were fairly consistent. If one looks at enough genuine SG plates with these characteristic inconsistencies the aftermarket fakes would seem to be pretty obvious. Not an excuse for the lack quality control though.

For pocono: I love that. Now why would I think that one is legit? Everything looks great/symmetrical on that one, even the upside down "A"...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

My take on this is I would be more suspect of a perfect looking Super Grade floor plate. I never saw one with perfect font. The G was usually larger on most with the A close second. The dashes pointing out, the dashes pointing in, etc. Some of the hand stamped barrel markings on less popular calibers will raise an eyebrows as well. They were making guns.

🤔 I was talking with the seller about this rifle in particular and a few others before they were even listed. We had a fair amount of good communication and he sent several pics I asked for… I had committed to buying this rifle for an agreed price pending a few more pics. He stopped communication with me and instead listed it online. His last text to me was “it sold” I sent a polite response saying hey buddy I thought we had a deal in the works… (We absolutely did) and he has not responded to me again Take that for what it’s worth

Interesting. Didn’t love the hairlines; but for the price … ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/QCjJ6R6p/Winchester-Model-70-Super-Grade-300-H-H-Magnum-for-sale.png)

AK.. I’m not trying to sway anybody, just relating my experience.
It was classic bait and switch, which doesn’t sit well with me and leads to integrity concerns.
Maybe he’s a great guy and I’m all wrong
Supposedly he has many more p64 in 257 Roberts, 220 swift etc..I asked for pictures and never got them..
suffice to say I won’t be pursuing any of his other offers.

And appreciate it.

Sounds like a real winner. Probably a good thing you did not buy from him. Doesn't sound real trust worthy, or a man of his word. Saved yourself some headache probably..
