Well the only thing good I can say about Winchester is that the supervisor called back. And sung the same old broken record:
basically I am screwed. They will not stand behind any G series Model 70 and don't care if it blows up....not their fault.
So if you have one of these, pray you don't need help cause you ain't gonna get it. Screw Winchester and through my contacts
in the local gun market, this will cost them a whole lot more money than fixing this.
Thanks to all above who have offered ideas and help. I really appreciate it.
The reason Winchester will not service the "G" series rifles is that of product liability insurance issues or lack of on rifles they did not build. Savage Arms had the same policy after emerging from bankruptcy, which was any rifle with an "F" serial number prefix or earlier could not be serviced by Savage.
