Somebody started a Winchester "kill" page last year but I haven't seen one this year yet so I'll revive it.

Killed this 150 lb 8 point this morning, Model 70 Lightweight Synthetic Carbine 7mm-08 with some 20+ year old Remington Extended Range 154 gr. I haven't hunted with this gun much, preferring more "exotic" chamberings, but it is perfect for hunting in a climber, like this morning. He was facing me at about 130 yards while standing in tall dog fennel, and all I could see was from his neck up. I put it on the white patch on his throat and he was DRT.

Nice looking buck (and rifle too)!

Beauty. Both.

Winchester M 70 Classic .300 Wby and a 180 gr NP handload. Shot it at 210 yds.

Nice bucks guys. I always enjoy this thread..

Saturday before last.

That's pretty cool. Nice work.

Thanks Battue!

Colorado 1st season, my pre 64 M70 300 H&H/legend.

We all know it, but it deserves mentioning.

Damn few will equal that Elk hunt. Looks like it also shoots where you point it.

^^Plus 10 on that!!^^
Anything else is an also ran in my book!

Yep, that is pretty cool. Very nice bull and great old rifle there...

Congrats to all those Winchester users! Nice critters here. Well don on that elk Handwerk! Can't wait to see more. I would like that old 95 to connect with a nilgai when we go to the south Texas ranch in several weeks. But I know it will probably be just like last year. I'll be too busy quail hunting! Walked up on a really nice bull last year doing just that! LOL. Quail are easier to carry!

Nothing special this year. Cow was taken with 300 Win mag in Brown Pounder stock. First time I've ever used factory ammo on elk (the 7WSM was going to be my primary gun but the trigger sear broke two days before season). Hornady Super Perfermance 165 GMX round did the trick well.

Doe was taken with 7 WSM in McMillan super grade stock. Load was 120 TTSX with 71gr. of reloader 22. Shot was a little over 250 yards. First Antelope hunt for me. They are pretty small animals but fun to hunt.

Well done! More meat critters!!!

Very cool. Nice rifles and animals. Hey, what rifle did the sear break on? Was it a NH classic? Probably late production 2005-2006?? Just a wild azzed guess... Those cast (or as they call it now: "MIM") parts pizz me off!!!

Son connected on this one yesterday morning. He's a "One Rifle Man"...
Stainless Classic in .270 Win. Rolls his own loads IMR 4350 / 130 TTSX. He missed a good buck during muzzle loader season. Doesn't play video games, doesn't watch TV. He's an outdoor junkie. I love this kid!

Wow!! That's one nice buck. Good on him! Sound like a great young man with excellent role model!!!!

Awesome man!!!!! Tell him he did a nice job on that buck. Looks like he put it right in the boiler room. Looks like a lot of guys are filling their freezers this year...

Gunnut that's a nice buck!

BSA, it is a later NH rifle. Can't remember if I bought it in 2004 or 2005, it's mostly sat in the safe BC the trigger sucks! If it didn't shoot so well I would of sold it long ago. Now that it's in a nice stock I'm gonna get a new trigger. My dad got it working again but it's unsafe unless it's set at 7+ lbs.

Good luck with that trigger. Shouldn't be too hard to fix/replace.

I started that last year and am happy it is back.

besides a couple of whitetail does back in January I bagged three Roe deer in Romania back in May with my Pre 64 model 70 fwt. I booked the trip with Horia aka Born Wild and unforgettable hunting you can find in the Europe section on this site. Wonderful hunt and experience!

Like all the new additions fellas! Great critters!

The roe bucks are really nice, Southwind!!!!

Took this one on 10/30/16 with a 264 WM.

Very nice BBear! Love seeing the elk pics!!! Well done!

Just returned from a successful Coues backpack hunt and my Pre64
6.5-06 worked well once again...

Election Day eight point buck in eastern NC, shot with 270 WIN handload using Hornady 130 grain Interlock in Winchester M70FW sporting a new Meopta R-1 scope.

More nice critters fellas! Keep em coming!

Nice deer and rifle, Odessa.

This years caribou with a winchester extreme weather in 300 mag.

Dang phones are pretty cool if you don't tilt em

Besides Show your Model 70 thread the Winchester Kill threads are my favorite. Keep them coming!

Thanks Local Dirt. I enjoy looking at all you gents trophy photo's too - keep it up.

Running out of time to hunt and not seeing many deer this year left me happy to put the old .270 fwt. to work on this mn. sausage buck.

That buck is a fine fat fellow... He should be great for the freeze, even if he was shot with a .270!!! Cool!

Shot these two coyotes while deer hunting with a '61 270 Fwt. in a Mickey edge.



Shot this coyote while deer hunting with the custom '37 model 70.

open sighted old school hunting! nice elk.

Good looking 270 FWT. congrats on the backstraps!

Congrats on the great 8!

Really didn't want to shoot this cat. It and it's 3/4 grown kitten slipped up within 20' of me. I tried shooing her away and when I moved my hand up to flip the safety off the Mama Bobcat moved closer. I guess she was protecting her kitten or territory. she was growling just like a big tom cat warning a dog to stay away. I wish now I would have just stood up.

Well done all! Keep 'em coming!

Got this guy with about 5 min of legal light left with my M70 Classic in 30-06 with a 180 AB handload. Quartering shot and he ran up the hill and zigged while
the rest of the elk did a zag. Found him after about a 40 min search. Not too great on the hero shot, rifle is laying next to pack off to left.

I was hunting an old overgrown pasture in Hopkins County Texas. At about 7:45 am this buck slipped up in front of me only about 80 yards away. Unfortunately I was looking at the sun rise and had tall weeds in the way with really bright areas and super dark shadows which made a "skillet shot" a little more difficult.
He managed to go about 40 yards after the hit with the 130 grain Hornady interbond hand load. Exit wound in photo. entrance wound at edge of opposite shoulder. Had to shot a little back because of the tall weeds.
Rifle is a reworked '37 model 70 rifle.

Well done Johndog!!!

Nice buck, 1911!!!!

purdy rifle! oh, and nice buck

Nice one Greg!

Greg, fantastic buck an a beautiful featherweight there! Congrats!

You gents are knocking down some nice animals with your Winchesters!

I got this one Saturday afternoon. I've had a poor couple of years on the lease, and was surprised when this buck walked right out and volunteered. Shot with my pre-64 in .264 Win Mag launching a 140-grain Accubond at around 3150 fps. The entrance wound can be seen, the exit was just behind the off shoulder and lungs were completely destroyed. He ran about fifteen yards and expired.

I screwed two sunshades onto my scope that afternoon because when I left camp I still had not decided just where I would go, and from some of the spots I use I have to look toward the sun. As it turned out, I had the sun behind me.

Nice buck!

model 70 light weight 30-06 165 gr interlock pushed by 56 gr 4350

Nice bucks River Rider and Earlybrd!! Very nice!

model 70 ranger 270 130 gr interlock pushed by 57 gr of 4831

I'll second that!

Very nice!

Thanks. He's actually a bit on the small side for my area, but I wasn't about to pass him up!

Congratulations, beautiful buck and rifle!! How do you like your R-1 scope?

Eric

Great to bag bucks on Thanksgiving Day, congrats to River Rider and Earlybrd! Eric, so far so good - my first European, still getting used to the heft. The R-1 scope is crystal clear and actually enhances light (as advertised) in the very early day much better than any 1" scope I own. Odessa

my model 64 30 wcf and a jackhopper

Nice shootin' Mooshoo

I don't think there's any hunting more fun than jackrabbits. Dove is a close second!

I never get tired of showing off game taken with my 400 Whelen. It's a left handed model 70, Shilen barrel, NECG banded front sight, barrel band swivel, rust blued and drilled and tapped for a Lyman 48. This year it wore a Redfield 2 3/4x Post and Crosshair but it changes back and forth between that and the Lyman 48.

This is a dry caribou cow taken near the McClaren River.

Very nice Mart!!!!

Thank you sir.

PL Holehan Mod 70' Dall in August in a McMillan.

I put it back in its walnut for a 10 point whitetail. No pics it was on my land- no camera.

Nice sheep!!!

Very nice!

I grew up hunting jacks in the sage. The "good ol days"....

My father Kayeoodie, was kind enough to let me borrow one of his 1895s in 35 Winchester. So this evening my oldest son and I were out at our place and I put a 250 gr Hornady round nose through the shoulders of an 8 point. The loads he sent me with were some I made for him last year for an elk hunt. Makes deer fall like a sack of potatoes.

Tried to download your pic, but still can't get any cooperation outta photobucket!

A little small but it was a slow hot season and I didn't shoot one last year waiting for the big one. The longest deer shot of my life and the only one without a scope. Later ranged it at 195 yards. 53' 30-06 with a 165 Gameking.

nice shot! I understand... I just came off a 4 year drought of no deer the longest since I was in my mid twenties!

Nice sheep Tony!

Hope you can get the picture up Kaywoodie, sounds like something interesting to see.

Nice shot Horseman, nice rifle too.

Nice sheep Tony and Postoak good job with the 35. if and when I get a 95, that's the chambering I'd like.

This has been an enjoyable thread. Lots of good animals and stories! Also a lot of good Winchesters!

Good shooting with an iron sighted rifle. It's hard not to like a pre-64 model 70. Good job.

Some pics.

Oryx.


Blesbok.


Springbok.


Blue Wildebeest.


All the above animals were killed with a M 70 .375 H&H SS and 270 gr Swift A-Frame.

Way cool.

Damn Ken!!!!!



You look so young!!!!!!!!



With love,

Bob

It's no whitetail or elk but my wife got her first moose using model 70 classic in a 280 using 150gr ballistic tip

Well that's pretty dang cool, 79S!! Congrats to her!!!!

I hope to add some like that to the 2017 Winchester kill page.

Very nice!

A Moultrie, GA 10-point taken during the rut with my M70 Stainless Classic 30-06 and 165 gr Accubond handloads. This pig weighed 267 pounds!

A very nice Buck!!!! Well done!!!!!

dang that is a bruiser! good looking rifle too. Is the stock a Mcmillan or a painted tuperware? looks nice like the camo job.

Congrats to your wife!

Thanks. It's a McMillan Winchester Hunter with molded-in GAP camo.

Spent an incredible week in Mexico prior to Thanksgiving.... Enjoyed the hunt with some really incredible riflemen and outdoorsmen. The experience, along with stories of past hunting trips, hunting partners, fine rifles, and great bullets made for a memorable trip. Ironically... we all hunted old Model 70's.

Op- had that same M70 syn carbine 7/08 and neck shot a Mule Deer about 110 yds in CO years back w a 139 handloaded at 2850 via Varget. It was a handy fast hand handling killer! Dropped a deer on the run about the same distance in timber in La - and used a similarly FWT deluxe in 7/08 on other kills. Those carbines balanced better than M7's IMHO.

Whitebird, nice photos. Beautiful rifles and fantastic desert mulies and sheep.

whats the story on the custom mdl 70?

my 30/06 made in 1950

Pre-War Model 70, chambered in 6.5-06.
Decent stick of wood.

That is a nice piece of wood. Is the 2nd rack down 36" wide, or just very close?

My on my own public land Kansas mule deer with the trusty 61 fwt 270.

awsome animal's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beauty southwind, what a great buck, and that classic rifle looks great as well, congrats!

No kidding! hell of a trophy there!
My favorite year featherweight too, my birth year. All my featherweights are '61.

Thanks gents, I was stoked to bag him. I love hunting with that 61 fwt it is my go to rifle.

A bit late. Some of you might recognize the rifle.

My 14 year old's first whitetail, a nice little Tennessee forkhorn.

Details:
Her 70 Classic Featherweight 6.5x55, Redneck shortened to fit her & worked his other magic on.
Older Swaro 1.5-6x42 with #4 in Dual Dovetails that is just about perfect for here.
She loads 100gr NBT, 42.0gr Varget, & Lupua brass (GunLooney88's low recoil recipe) and practiced a lot.
Low heart shot at about 45 yards, and it ran maybe 45 yards more.

We had a great time, and words just can't express how happy I am that she was successful this year!!

Congrats to the young lady!

Actually 2017 kills but it was the first weekend finishing up the season with a plump doe for the freezer and a bonus kill for a little predator control.

TTT

Scheit...How'd I miss this thread???

Love seeing "big guns" being put to good use on "every day game." I've been known to carry a .404 Jeffery and a .411 KDF....

Big or small I like them all:) I have deer hunted with a 375, 450/400 NE, 416 Taylor and a 500 BPE double rifle. My favorite caliber however is the 7X57/275 Rigby.
