Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Let's see your winchester model 70 rifles

You are correct! Iphone. If the light is right you can get some impressive shots. If the light isn't the best they can still stink for sure.

Just picked up this '41 30-Govt-06. She's pretty original except for a tapped rear bridge and missing front sight hood. (Where can you get those by the way?)
Anyhow she likes 150gr Interlocks just like my Supergrade '06 and this was the first three shot group she turned once sighted in. Very happy as the pre-war was the one I've always been keen on and pre 64's are super hard to come by down here.

Alright, this seems like the right place to put a picture of my new rifle, even though I started a thread on beautifying it already . I call this one my "elk killin machine":

Pre 64 model 70 (1954) H&H magnum receiver chambered in 338 win mag. Custom stainless barrel, Custom cerakoted midnight blue and bolt jeweled by a local Smith, 3-9x36 Swarovski Habicht, Talley lightweight lows, butler creek flip up on the objective, factory trigger, glass bedded by some guy named BSA, aluminum bottom metal, brown precision stock painted brown with red decelerator recoil pad. Rifle holds 4 in the magazine and weighs right at 8 pounds loaded and ready to go:






Shoots alright. Here are the first 2 groups I shot with this rifle after getting it all put together:



Wind was blowing that day, but I'm not making any excuses . Rifle functions perfectly and is ready for elk hunting in 2015!!!!! Let's see some more of your awesome model 70's!!! This is the thread for it

-Beside the Supergrade and wearing a Leupold in Redfield rings:

I like to think that maybe she came over with a 2nd Division Marine before they took on the japs during WW2 but you never know!
