I can hold in the middle of the chest on a whitetail for a pretty long way.

Some don't like the one piece redfield/leupold base but who gives a chit.... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer or elk but how he hunted it.

I used to own #1534 and it was also a 30/06. I like the "square" floorplate release button on these real early ones much better than the later ones.

lundtroller Campfire Regular L Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,109	Cartod, Beautiful Model 70!!! I have your gun's older cousin by about 180 guns in 30-06. I stumbled into mine a couple of years ago in a pawnshop sitting barrel down in an overcrowded open gunsafe. I noticed it was a pre 64 70 with an old hard rotted slip on rubber pad and I asked to see it. I saw that it was a pre war 30-06 and my interest waned slightly as I didn't really care for pre war safetys and wasn't really in the market for a 30-06. Then I turned it over, saw the serial # and just about passed out... had butterflies in my stomach like when I was a little kid. Next I looked at the price, ripped the old rotten pad off to make sure the buttplate was there, and purchased that rifle as fast as I could.... I think I would have sold one of my kids into slavery if I'd had to in order to secure that rifle!!!! I love to pull it out and just look at it. I tried to find out who pawned the rifle just to call them and ask them some questions about its history and how it ended up where it did... if only it could talk! The pawn shop wouldn't give me the information. Do you shoot yours? I have not as of yet. Lundtroller

It has been really well kept but did have one hole drilled in rear bridge for lyman alaskan....:(

My last remaining pre 64, a .243 FW built in 1963, about two weeks before the end of making "real Winchesters." Unfired and could be bought. The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
