Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Winchester Classic Stainless 7 WSM (UPDATED)

New Haven produced Winchester Model 70 Stainless, chambered in 7mm WSM, 24-inch sporter weight barrel. Comes in Bell & Carlson Medalist stock, Leupold dual dovetail bases/rings and topped off with a Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14X40 side focus scope with Butler Creek caps. This rifle shoots exceptionally well with factory Federal Fusion 150's, so I never got around to handloading for it. It has had less than 100 rounds down the tube, and is in excellent condition. I also recently purchased 80 pieces of once fired nickle plated cases that will go to the buyer.

Price is $850 FTF, or $875 shipped for the package, or $675 shipped for the rifle and brass (minus the scope). WILL CONSIDER TRADES FOR A SS RUGER HAWKEYE, SS BROWNING A-BOLT, OR A SS TIKKA T3 IN 30-06. Please feel free to message me through the board with any questions. Thanks!

Hi,Shoots well can mean different things to different people.How about average group sizes at 100 Yds????Also what is the all up weight of this rifle.Thanks,Huntz

Hmmmmm. BUMP. He did say it shoots "exceptionally well" and with factory federal ammo. Your right Huntz, that may be very ambiguous. Hell, I don't think I have any rifles that shoot exceptionally well. But the search continues Oh, nice rifle by the way. Bump...

My apologies guys. I suppose that I should have been more specific, regarding accuracy. I'm not the guy who totes his calipers and digital camera to the range, so forgive me for not providing pictures. I've been around the campfire a long time, and I'm very careful not to put out information that I cannot back up.

On my last trip to the range (early November 2010), I re-zeroed the rifle for the Fusion ammo, (It was originally zeroed with WW silver box), I shot a 5-shot group that was well under MOA. Now I realize that might not qualify as "exceptional accuracy" for most here, but anytime that I can get a rifle to shoot 5 shots under an inch, with non-premium factory ammo, that's an accurate rifle in my book. Obviously, everybody here has their own standards, so your mileage may vary.

In regards to weight, this is NOT a lightweight rifle. I've been spoiled by packing Tikka T3's around. I don't own a postal scale, so I unfortunately cannot give you a weight.

Thanks for the update doorgunner. I'd buy it if I hadn't already bought 2 this month already!!!!! Anytime you can get 5 shots into less than 1 inch you know you've got a good rifle. These are generally the ones I won't part with. As far as weight, I've got a classic sporter and it is probably a little heavier than your rifle. The Nikon 4.5-14x40 buckmasters weigh in at 17.6 ounces. The rifle by itself is probably around 7.5 pounds so the combined weight is around 8 3/4 to 9 pounds. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Your rifle is very nice and you have it priced right.

Thanks for the comments. Yes, it's a nice rifle, and surpassed my expectations for accuracy in a magnum caliber, which I don't exactly have a stellar reputation for being able to shoot well with. I think the extra weight, over what I'm accustomed to, helped me shoot it well.

PM'd you.

Bump.

Up.

Agreed. Bump for a nice deal.



(If it helps at all, I have one of these in a factory stock with Talley lightweights and a VX-III 3.5-10x40 (with M1 turrets). I put it on a scale with a butt-stock ammo holder and 9 rounds of ammo, and it weighed a smidge under 9lbs. (Mine also shoots 3 into an inch at 100yds)).

This rifle has been SOLD.
