I just bought my first Winchester rifle. It's late 50s Model 70 chambered for svelte .300 H&H magnum. Now I finally get to use some of that Kynamco ammo I have been holding on to. smirk

It had dust in crevices and unturned screws plus no recoil pad or other alterations so I bought it. I think I would have bought it even if I didn't already have ammo available. Old rifles are more appealing in odd calibers. I put it on layaway and will post pics when I pick it up.

You just "won" with the notion of having to put a Trashed Turd on phuqqing layaway.

Wow!...............

you do realize Stick that if everyone had the same taste you wouldnt have any Kimbers to play with cause wasnt that long ago you were only interested in their near opposite as far as action features...

i love my Kimber Montana but it aint THE answer to all problems or tastes and while i do grab it when i head out the door most the time it doesnt follow me all the time cause i am a rifle loony and like using other stuff.....and hell the only reason i settled on the Montana was weight and the stock fits me so the balance is good....

It has typical Winchester strait grained stock with red stain and old varnish used in late 50s manufacture. I think the wood came from Missouri Breaks. The rifle handles well and seems to be pretty well put together. Frankly it compares very well to anything made today for same money. The nearest competitor is Czeska Zbrojovaka sporter.

I reckon you gotta tell yourself something.

Personally,I'd start with the truth,based upon fact(s).

Odd,I don't recall having cited ANY rifle.

Did I think highly of the Kimber Montana,prior to their being Invented? Nope. Did I immediately appreciate their splendor,at inception? Yep.

Hell...I may even have more than one rifle.

Laughing!...............

Good on ya!

I pop into my favorite LGS, and a pawn shop or three, a couple times a week. Never can tell what you might find that you can't live without.

I keep a couple lay-aways going at all times. Acts like a forced savings plan. Instead of buying that coke or $7.00 fast food lunch, I'll keep in mind that the faster it is paid for the soon it will be mine to fondle.

What's the old saying, "Inch by Inch, its a cinch".

JAFO,

Congratulations on getting a fine rifle. I have a Model 70 chambered in 300 H&H that was made in 1956. I like the combination.

It compares favorably with modern wooden-stocked Rugers, Remingtons, and CZs. The only downside is if one doesn't have ammo on hand it is difficult to locate and expensive when found.
The ones from 50s have raised comb which helps when shooting using a scope.

Which in reply, if someone were of such mind, they could point out, that with most of your rejoinders these days, you seem to be polishing your rep for being such.
