Nice rifle! GLWYS. It's a tough market for collectibles these days.

Nice rifle! GLWYS. It's a tough market for collectibles these days. Thanks Dinny, she's a real beaut! I really don't want to sell it but it's time to start clearing out some of the ones gathering dust. If it doesn't sell my pre-64 70 will go instead and I'll just start using this one.

Bought one. Shoots like a dream. Mine has the high grade stock a metal buttplate. Will never be for sale. They did something different when they built these rifles! 3400 wouldn't even begin to touch my rifle.

They have a featherweight barrel, and a slimmer stock that a sporter, with a leupold 1 inch scope it will weigh right at or just under 8 pounds like Jack's original. Great rifle here!

Coyote10 is correct - this thing is really really light I think Winchester's specs said it was a little over 7 lbs.

Pardon my ignorance, would this be a BACO rifle with the enclosed box trigger or is this built on the classic action?
Thanks!

My other Model 70 sold so looks like this one is about to become my primary hunting rig so no longer for sale.

Good choice. You won't regret keeping this one, but you would surely regret selling it.
