In use for hunting? it's been in my collection for a long time. I have never shot it, and it appears unfired. It had a 13 page thread About it discussing weather or not to shoot it. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/6394324/1 Last edited by Cartod; 06/01/12.

The 'bastid' Model 70. Circa 2001, pushfeed, New Haven, 7mm RM. I call it 'Thumper' or 'Black Death'. Notice the Bubba Budy for added 'bastid' effect. He went over yonder way

Top to bottom. 1960 action, 24" Shilen in 308 Norma. McMillan Supergrade stock, 3.5-10X Leupy. 1958 Fwt in 243 with 2.5-8X Leupy, stock refinished. 1959 Fwt in 30-06 with 2.5-8X Leupy 1951 270 with old custom stock(Fajen?)& 2.5-8 B&L in adjustable mount. Recently acquired 1952 beater in 30-06, this was a 270 with a bulged barrel in which I installed a '46 barrel in 30-06. Can't find anything else that "feels" like a Pre'64 M70.... Looking for more...

Not sure how I'm going to outfit her yet or what loads to start working up, but I've got a few more months "For some unfortunates, poisoned by city sidewalks ... the horn of the hunter never winds at all" Robert Ruark, The Horn of the Hunter

Just put on the leupold VX3 1.5-5x20 in the steel Leupold bases and rings the other day. It's my dream rifle : I also had my 30-06 classic sporter cerekoted in sniper grey: [img]http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/007-43.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/005-57.jpg[/img] And slapped a different scope on my FN PBR XP 300 wsm which is a souped up winchester model 70 classic action: [img]http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/004-64.jpg[/img] Been busy with my winchesters lately Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Do you have any kind of documentation showing that it left the factory that way or that it isn't a National Match in a SG stock? Regardles it's a beautiful rifle and if it's factory I give you credit for actually taking a rifle like that out in the field.

Reelman, we had a good conversation about the rifle back in April: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...44956/28/Let_s_see_your_winchester_mode. It was a pleasure taking it out in the field! Eric

It looks like a Brazilian Super model with a pair of combat boots on her feet.... The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
