Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Model 70 wood?

Never saw one like this, 270WBY

Wow, that is some nice wood! It appears it has been worked over, the bolt does not look like original finish.

That's a beauty for sure. Whoever put that recoil pad on needs to be slapped though.

Shows the difference between good and spectacular . Spectacular has two great sides and something to look at up front. Here there is back left and nothing else.

Along with weak grain thru the wrist.

+1 million. I know someone that cut one of the most beautiful Sako Deluxe stocks I have ever seen and shortened it to 12 inch and added a sims pad . Made you want to cry.

BSA, you sure nailed that one! Best post ever!

I can't be friends with someone like that.

Best part is he argued that it was ok and it was a black sims pad. The original pad(RED) and 2" at least of stock were chopped.

Stock not cut,has the original pad.I think 1500 is a bit much.

It does have a nice piece of wood that has to have the pad replaced. I would tell him that and offer less.


Phug-ging Blasphemy to do that to a nice piece of wood.

sqweeler, that is not the original pad. The original should be red.

I meant he also has the original pad that come's with the rifle.

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Yeah, $1,500.00 is too much. Its a pushfeed XTR sporter supergrade without sights, in an odd ball chambering. It does have a nice stock, but that stock doesn't increase the value by $1,000.00... JMHO. IF it were an XTR FWT, then maybe it would be worth considering. But it would still only be worth $1,100.00 approx. I've been eyeballing a nice little XTR FWT in 243 win for a while now, but they want $1,100.00 for it and I think it even comes with a scope I can sell and recoup some of the money, just to give you an example. I have noticed the XTR's of any flavor have gone up in value though. If you like it, try to get him to go down on the price by a few hundred. Or pay the piper and be into it for more than its worth..
