Nice rifle Steve congratulations. I love the Hornet and have a pre war carbine but alas these old eyes make it hard to hit anything using the irons.

You're gonna have to duct tape your face in place to keep from grinning so hard it completely closes your eyes while trying to shoot that one, NICE!

I hit the 'BUY NOW' on a Van Orden on Guns America many years ago thinking they worked like Gun Broker, the seller sold to the guy that called him on a Monday, I was pissed! The seller had no idea what he had, did not check his emails.... I shoot a Carlos Hatchcock, a 56' 30-06 Target in a sporter stock, my first mod 70, countless whitetails with that gun, an absolute naildriver.. it started this whole damn WinPoor, mod 70 thing!! very best winpoor Carlos is 2nd gun from top, the other 3 are SS barreled guns.. ![[Linked Image]](http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo308/winchesterpoor/photo.jpg) Is that 56 foot length of pull, barrel length, or overall length?

There was a Model 70 Target in 35 Whelen at a shop south of here a few years ago.

Didnt Winchester make a few special order M70 target rifles in 35REM? Yep, they weren't "special" orders though. The 35Rem was made for a few years in the target model... 1941-1946 in fact... Keeping in mind most production was ceased from around the first of 1943 to around the first of 1946....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I know of one Target in 30-30 or 30 WCF, it was a special order gun. with the correct change and a good Winchester sales rep if you wanted it Winchester would build it! very best WinPoor

Nice rifle.
I have an early 1950s Super Grade in 300 Holland
that features a Griffin and Howe SM with a Lyman Alaskan.
Winchester is alleged to have offered that combination.
In Alaska, the Standard Model in 30-06 was preferred because of the notion by hunters and trappers that a rifle was just a tool. That changed a bit after WW II as knowledgeable hunters looked for an all around rifle, capable of stopping bears. That sometimes meant a 35 Whelen in a FW stock for easy carry. The re-bore/ re-chambering- Model 70 in 35 Whelen I own will not win affection from collectors, but at a
distance it looks and feels like a FWT M-70 Super Grade in 35 Whelen.
