Almost joined the win 70 cult tonight...again
Although I have a I have a few Winchester levers in my arsenal (1886 1873 etc) I currently do not own a model 70. I was touring Sportsmans warehouse tonight and there it was. A poor ole lonely model 70 controlled round feed claw extractor in 270 Winchester. Nice stock to boot. I say lonely because it is the last Classic they had and on clearance. Under 600.00 and of course new in box. I left her there but she has been on my mind. I do not know how many rifles I have but what the heck can I do with a 270 win that I can not do with all the overlapping calibers I already have? Darn decisions 😕 I sure feel bad about leaving her there though

I got rid of the last model 70 I had, last year. Model 70 classic 338wm. Had the boss system and a 26 inch tube. I thought about whacking a few inches off the barrel but ended up trading it on a Sako of the same caliber and a shorter barrel.
I’ve been pining them in the gun stores ever since.

It is a good thing you left it there. If a man has Winchester model 70 in 270 he can probably sell 90% of his rifles. You dodged a bullet I think.

60.5gr of RL26 145gr ELD-X and don’t look back. That good ol 270 will be a laser.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
