I’d never buy a model 70 without the original trigger design.
Well you wont be buying a new one then, but plenty of used New Havens to be had for a good price if one looks around.
Yes, the best deals are always going to be on used rifles. The ones I look for are diamonds in the rough, the ones I see extreme potential in, or ones that look new. I feel for some of you guys living in remote areas of the US or back east. I was in Tennesse last month and when I asked if they had any old Winchester model 70's the guy behind the counter looked at me like I just f'd his wife in the azz. Who knows? Maybe he thought I was going to surround his wagons or something??? I even had one lady here locally, that runs a gunshop, tell me I won't find any old Winchester model 70's for a good deal, especially the pre 64's. I just laughed..
