Home Forums Hunting & Shooting The Lefty Forum LH Winchester model 70 for sale

KenMi I think the problem is you have derailed this thread. I am just trying to sell a rifle.

So why isn't it's twin a featherweight either, then? [/quote]

KenMi, I don't have an answer for you, if you like to call Winchester and check I'll give you the serial number, I would be forever in your debt.

The serial starts with a "G" and is 7 digit serial. I hope this helps everyone.
I hope there is someone smarter than me who can help.

Please reread the thread to see who in fact "derailed" it. I was saying nothing against your gun, or even that era of Winchester LH 70's. I, in fact was saying that the newer WSMs were arguably better than the long action previous LH versions. But someone took offense to that, and then couldn't even accept facts as presented.

I know full well you have a legitimate model, because I had two of the same, also in that serial number range. Someone also was questioning it, before I said anything here, saying it should be a featherweight, but then later on also claimed to have the identical rifle as yours. My question about the "twin" was not directed at you or your gun.

KenMi I am sorry I called you out specifically. I am just disappointed with all the posts in my thread. Like I said before, I was just trying to sell a rifle and everyone chimes in about a problem with the gun, perceived or otherwise. A problem that may have only affected a few, but now seems to have been every rifle Winchester produced. My rifle now has the perception of being an inaccurate tool of the devil, and should be avoided at all cost.

Thanks campfire.

That certainly wasn't the intent of myself, or hopefully anyone else here.

AS I said, I had two of the WSM LH guns, and had absolutely no problems with them. They both fed great, shot good, and were solid, dependable guns.

Given the choice, I'd sure buy a LH WSM at this time, vs. a LH 70 long action (270, 30-06, 300, 338, etc.). But, most buyers see it differently, as reflected in the prices the long actions get.

Sinistral, you might just want to post a for sale thread in the classified section and perhaps another thread here in the lefty forum with a link to the classified thread.
