WOW, This is awesome in one manner but really upsets me in other ways! The first is my NH 375H&H Safari Express converted to 300H&H is still not finished. And a standard model would have saved me a butt load of cash!  Now hopefully Winchester will start producing 375H&H & 300H&H brass again????  Would like to see Winchester offer the 300H&H in the Alaskan & Super Grade! Heck they offer it in almost all of their other m70's?

Are these going to say "BACO", made in Portugal??

John,I would get the 4x. Judy said I can get a .300 H&H. YAY! It was Ingwe permission that did it. THANKS INGWE! Ingwe,Judy said you are now on her schit list,welcome to my world. I am on a LOT of women's schit lists�. If you'd quit stealing their leopard thongs... Man, I was saving for a roll away tool box. I guess that's out the window now...

So the "roll away" tool box rolled away?

Lol, pretty much. Apparently, I want another H&H (already have a 721 Remington) more, particularly in an M70. Is it warped that I'm interested in both the EW and the Sporter?

I hope someone asked a Winchester representative at the Shot Show for an update on the move to Portugal. I have not seen a Model 70 yet with a Portuguese barrel address. CP.

That is one of the perks of my build, it is going to be a New Haven action with a very nice stock and Dakota open sights to match my 404 J.

I will ask the question at DSC next week and if they do, I'm going to order one to go along with my other two M70s!
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Which one you gonna get Ken, and i like the 4x The Sporter version. Already have a Featherweight(7x57) and a Shadow(.243). Going to use a Leupold 3.5-10x on the .300 H&H and put the 4.5-14x Leupold on my Cooper .22-250. A 4x on the 7mm Mauser,that goes together like peaches & cream.  Do have a 2.5x Leupold Ultralight on my Featherweight. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0387.jpg)

Where are ya'll getting this information?
Winchester website Well, every cartridge except for the 264 WM is listed as new for the Extreme Weather. I think they were doing to same crap last year causing all kinds of speculation and rumors.

I agree. And it looks like no more 300 win mag either, and I find that hard to believe. Maybe a SHOT show special 300 H&H, but not available in all the Model 70 lineup. Typo on Winnie's part.....

Looked in the 2013 Winchester catalog and this #535202233 is a Sporter M 70 .300 Win mag. On the 2014 Winchester website the same # is a .300 H&H. Thinking a typo.
