Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS

I have 3, all BACO's, a 7 WSM, 270 WSM and a 7/08. The 7 WSM shoots a little over an inch with HSM 168 Bergers, the 270 WSM shoots bugholes with Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 130's and the 7/08 is still NIB. I really like these EW's.

Anyone know what's up with the lack of availability of these rifles? I've been searching online a few times each year for the past few years and none of the big retailers seem to carry these. I've read others saying they have a hard time finding them too. Anyone know why they're so hard to find?

My LGS looked for almost a year for a .300 Win Mag. The only ones he could get were two chambered for the .264 Win Mag, a cartridge that I have never been able to get myself to like.

257Deland: That's a good looking rifle !
Which style McMillan Edge is this one ?
Thank you

Elelbean: any interest in a very lightly used EW IN 270?

Tons of them on gunbroker. No shortage of them there. My dad just got one recently.

Good friend of mine has one in 270. It works perfect and shoots lights out. The bore in these appears rough with a lot of tool marks if you get the chance to scope one, but again, it shoots great and really doesn't seem to foul much. Probably the best buy in a factory out of the box accurate rifle I have seen in a while.

I got inspired and just ordered a new 30-06. My dad loves the one I have so much that I figured he should keep it and Ill get a new one.

paid 1030.00 shipped.

Good info here...I was not aware of a stock change on the EW's.....if this is true it would be a huge improvement over the club 2x4 POS that were calling a stock in the old models....this is a gamechanger for Me, I now have new interest in these rifles as the original stock was always a dealbreaker for Me.......Hb

When my new one gets here, Ill put some side by side photos with a new and an old one.

I have one in 270. I ditched the B&C stock in favor of a McMillan Sako Hunter. It's the most accurate sporter weight barreled rifle I own.

I've shot several 1/4" 3 shot groups with it using 140 Bergers over 4831.

Im considering getting a mccmilan stock for my new one, Im trying to cut the collection down to 3-4 guns when Im out in the sticks and the new 70ew is going to be one of them.

I've been playing around with 178 ELD-X's in mine. Shot this group at 200 yards Friday.

I have other rifles, but since putting the Edge stock on the EW it is the only rifle I've hunted with.

That's not too hard to take at all.

I ended up ordering a Tikka laminated stainless since there were so many negative comments about the stock on this rifle. Maybe when I get back I will re-visit this.

Excellent! That would be outstanding.....Thanks .....Hb

Bringing this 7 month old thread back to life.

Curious how people are fairing with EWs in 7mm-08?

I'm on my second one, first one was SC made and wouldn't group. Replacement is Portuguese and I agree with others that the stock is slimmed down on the newer ones. This one shoots better than the first but I still haven't found anything that it really likes.

I have one, it shoots everything great

Any factory ammo that stands out?

I have had a SC version in 300WSM for somewhere around five years. I could not like the 2x4 Bell and Carlson suplied for the stock so I put it in a take off walnut featherweight stock. I like i a lot more now days.
