How many here still hunt with, even partially, or own a Winchester model 70 30-06?
Mine is a 1972 dated

I've got a pre 64 '06 but I've never hunted with it. I do have other M70s that I do hunt with though. I have a DBM 284, a 90s featherweight 308 and last year I carried a pre 64 358. I hope that qualifies.


I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet!

I have two 30/06 pre 64 Fwt's, both made in my birth year, 1961. I admittedly have not hunted with the beat up user grade in quite some time. But I used it almost exclusively from 1990 to about 2001.

This pic was from 2006 when I used it to celebrate the 100th aniv. of the 30/06.

My other 30/06 '61 Fwt other than a couple of safe dings is like new. I'm not sure it's ever been used at all. I may sell or trade it toward a rechambered 1954is 300 Wby Mdl 70 (I have a nice '54 300 H&H barrel)

Don't own anything Winchester, except brass.
Not intentional, just happened.

Have a pre-64 Fwt. 30-06 purchased in 1957, but haven't hunted with it in a few years.

Never took to them new-fangled Model 70's.

I've got Model 54s in 30-06 and 7x57.

My go to rifle started out as a NH CRF FW 30-06. However it’s been re-barreled and dropped in a MCM Edge but it’s still a 30-06.
