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

RGK , That is as good as it gets, I am in need of that very base and rings , if you have any extra please PM me. very best

stock options: I have fwt crf 280. original stock was cut to 12.5" LOP with thick pad, but it's a little short for me. Action is bedded and barrel floated; shoots rem 150g consistently around 1" 3 shot groups. Should I have spacer added to lengthen LOP (ugly) or get new stock (maybe synthetic)?

Just buy a different stock. Many options of good synthetics out there like Mcmillan, Bansner (High tech specialties), Borden Rimrock/pacific research, Brown precision, or you could find a take off wood or factory tupperware for it. Ebay and CDNN usually have many to choose from. I'm assuming yours is an older New Haven CRF "Classic", which will require the 2 piece bottom metal and LA (long action) stock.

McMillan compact edge.

this is my pre 64 varmint in ,243 with 8X unertl









and with a set of Refield Olympic sights

Unertls are still great scopes.

Its hard to best the Varminter, old school that shoots as good as it looks. Mine loves the fed 70 gr BT ammo It has shot to 1 1/4 " @ 300 yards on a bluebird day. What year is yours ? very best

Here is a nice little deer slayer..

Yowza, Whitebird! Very nice 257 SG! What year is it?

Eric

I think 1954...

LOVE the straight-stocked M70s...and that one is awesome!
Bob

Damn, that is nice.

My favorite thread on the fire period!Mr Whitebirds mod 70 are always killer and THAT gun really clicks my bic. Keep em coming. Mr Whitebird I can tell you started collecting mod 70's many many moons ago. great photo as well, you have folks in the cemetery? very best

No cemetery... just a garden plot with an iron fence around it in an effort to keep the elk and deer and bunny wabbits out... Thanks for the kind words.

Mr Whitebird, I'm in extreme SW GA and we just do not have those vistas and views, we are beautiful and green ,as a retired pilot I got to see it all here after 10660 hrs cropdusting. Some one picked out a fantastic place for a garden and was pretty well heeled to fence it with that kind of fence. very best, I enjoy your photos! win poor

Well, at 6,500' elevation I have not completely figured out gardening. A mid July hail storm wiped my garden out... will try again next year. Might have to dig a few more out of the safe and take some more pictures....

I've fallen in love with the deerslayer, can I take any more?

Flip back thru this thread and you will see some heart stoppers, Eric M had a National Match Super Grade in a Sporter stock. Killer gun and very hard to come by! That is but one example many,many more, Mr Whitebirds stuff will have you slobbering like a mad dog! very best

This has been one of the most enjoyable threads I've been exposed to on any gun forum. Great photos of great guns, along with some knowledge and expert commentary on those guns. Keep it coming.

I finally got my 24" 30-06 back from bedding and swapped scopes around. I don't think the vortex viper will live long term on the 06 due to the reticle seems to be thin enough to fade away at last light. I really like the VX2 2-7x33 on my 7-08 20" Compact!! Really fits that rifle perfect. Next is checking for level good enough for what I can do with what I have, bore sight and hit the range when I can. Thought I'd share my 2 big game set ups.
