Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Winchester M70 / 670 McMillan Blind Magazine Capacity?

I recall its was a push feed, bare bones blind magazine model from the early years - probably in the G15XXXX era.

Downmarket version of the pusher M-70. There's also a 770, which is similar. Sears (and maybe other department stores) sold some under their own brand name if I remember correctly. Both are still Model 70s, though.

I'm against blind magazines only because I live in the Pacific Northwest. We get the occasional dry day, but on most hunts, this WILL happen:



I want to to be able to get the water out of the magazine without detail stripping my rifle. If I lived in Oklahoma again, I'd be open to blind magazines.

The 670 was the "Walmart" version of the post-64 Model 70, released around 1966. The same rifle was also available through Sears as the Model 53 iirc.

I learned something today!

Not up on Winchester stuff.

My factory pushfeed blind mag Brown Precision stocked 30-06 holds 4 down. It does not have square bottom edges and has nicer ergos than the mickey compact stock.

I can stuff a fifth down, but cannot operate the bolt over top of it.

Dakota,
Is your "factory pushfeed" an early winlite made by brown?

One thing to keep in mind regarding the number down is the follower used. I think the 670 used a thin plastic type follower....if I remember correctly, I know at least one of the M70's I've had did. The MRC I'm using has a heavy, MUCH thicker, machined follower. Thickness of the follower could make a 1 round difference.

Yes.
