New guy here and there seems to be a lot if interest in pre 64 Model 70's on this forum.
Been looking for a new to me deer rifle and as usual with me it can't be new. Have always wanted a pre 64 Winchester Model 70 in 30-06. Did not want a pristine one as they command a premium price but I wanted an unmolested one which are hard to find.
Stopped into local gun shop this morning and found exactly what I was looking for in the rack, 1954 Winchester Model 70 in 30-06, had a period correct Weaver V4.5 scope on it that is clear, still has original folding sight and sight hood. Some loss of bluing in places at carry points. Wood in better than average condition for a deer rifle but checkering is worn down typical of a 60 year old well used rifle.
Good condition but not collector quality so won't mind carrying it thru the woods.
Man, I just love vintage firearms, real quality.
