Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Let's see your winchester model 70 rifles

This is a great thread. I'm glad someone bumped it up again. Now I can post pics of some of the ones I got rid of and some I still have or newly acquired ones I'll show you guys. I know I've started threads on some of the newer ones I stole...

Pre 64 model 70 300WBY I bought last year (Aug 29) for $499.99:

Yes, I installed a red pachmayr. It had a worn out ventilated recoil pad on it when I bought it. I also glass bedded it and fine tuned the trigger to a perfect 2.5 pound pull. Rifle is a shooter and likes 180's and 200's:


Around the same time last year, I ran across a nice 30-06 fwt that I couldn't pass up at $475.00:

Yes, same treatment as the 300wby above. I also ran across a pristine fwt stock at a gunsmith's shop off the beaten path:

This stock fits this fwt like it was meant for it. It is also the same era as the rifle.

My latest pre 64 purchase was a transition model 375 WBY (rechambered H&H). I found it at a pawn shop for $600.00... We won't go into details about what it sold for on GB...

The stock was all original and probably worth almost as much as I gave for the complete rifle.. It is what it is though....

Here's one I sold less than a year ago. It shot ho hum and was chambered in a cool cartridge. Every time I shot it, I yearned for a rifle that would shoot the little cartridge better. Thus for that reason and that reason alone, I sent it packing...


I lucked into this rifle for a song. $800.00 as you see it pictured, plus I got 4 or 5 boxes of ammo with it. That was a while ago, can't remember. You think, that isn't much of a deal right. Wrong. Sold the scope for $350.00. Now you getting the picture. Still have some of the factory ammo to use in my new 7mm08. Those that say you can't buy a winchester model 70 as an investment are whacked...
