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?

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!
