Do the new Model 70s still come in stainless with a walnut stock?

I don’t see that option listed on Winchester’s site but I do see a bunch on gunbroker in 6.5CM and 270 WSM. Unfortunately, I’m looking for a 308 or 270 Win.

Thanks for the response. Maybe the better question is this:

Does anyone have a LGS that has a NIB Stainless Model 70 with a walnut stock in 308 or 270 Win?

Assuming you're talking about featherweights, right? (I don't think they're even putting out blued standard sporters any more?)

Not 308 or 270, but they're out there. https://www.gricegunshop.com/usr535234289-usra-m70-featherweight-sts-6-5creedmoor-22-ns.html

Yes, this is what I am looking for except in a different cartridge (308, 270 or maybe even 7-08).

In my humble opinion, Walnut and Stainless just make for a sharp looking rifle. I wish I had bought one of the model 70 fetherweights in the 90's when they first came out. My best friend has a FW SS in 270 that is just a meat making machine!


I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

I agree. That combo looks great (although I think walnut and a blues rifle looks great as well).

Appreciate the responses. I’m still looking for one in 308, 270 or 7-08.

If anyone happens to see one in a LGS please let me know.

Thank you!
