Made in 74 probably a model 70A.

I have a Winchester model 70 chambered m 270 WSM with made in New Heaven & a serial number G242xxxx trying to find out when it was made value this was the first gun I ever bought myself when I was a kid and my first hunting rifle any info would be appreciated

Not sure of the exact year as maybe someone else can post it but the best I can tell the post 64 Win. Model 70 in 270WSM first came out new in 2002 in the "Classic Feather weight WSM" !
MFG. 2001-2006 Msr. was $792.00
Hope this Helps.

HS 58

The 270 WSM was introduced to the public in 2002 at the shot show. That means your rifle was made in the 2001-2006 time frame. Just like huntershooter58 said. Others here know more specifically based on the serial#. Hopefully it is not one with an oval chamber or off center d&t scope mount holes.

So, how about a Winchester Model 70 SA 7mm-08 CRF that has the serial number G927XXX? I don't see any references to a G serial number that high for a New Haven Model 70.

Something is not right there. Either you have an extra digit or the 9 isn’t a 9.

It's correct. I'm looking to buy Friday. I have photos of the rifle. What's up with this?

How do I share a photo? Not clear to me.

Can you post those photos? Or if you’d prefer not to or don’t know how to I sent you a PM.

I'm happy to post photos, but I can't see how. Does the PM go to lredmon1952gmail.com?

No sir. Do you know how to look at your private messages?

No, I do not. I don't see anything like that, but I'm probably overlooking the obvious. Thanks in advance for the help.

On the far upper right of your screen, there is an envelope. Click it. There will be a message.

Thanks very much to AKwolverine for pointing out the first digit I thought was a 9 was actually a 3. Now it makes sense. Thanks to everyone for the help!
