Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Winchester Modle 70 Super Grades without black foreand tip?

I have them all John. I’ll try to dig them out and post some pics in the relatively near future.
Till then, you may find the below interesting …

Wanted to update this thread for the 4 others that may find it interesting. NYRifleman kindly sent me a link to a beautiful 7 mag supergrade that showed up on GB today. Assuming it’s all original with the original stock (from appearances it seems to be) it’s the earliest black tip supergrade I’ve seen - G37673. Helps to delineate the progression; even if the changeover was gradual.

Very nice! reminds me of 1992 when a bud showed up to show me his new Custom Shop 300 H&H, no black tip, beautiful wood and workmanship, i remember well it was early fall of '92, i was laid up a Mom's healing up LOL! knew there would be no hunting for me that year, and was so happy for my bud and his new rifle i damn near puked!

I’ve heard of those 300 H&Hs out of the custom shop, but never actually seen one. Probably a good thing because I would have to try to buy it if I did! That’s a neat story - thanks for sharing.

LOL, Yep, the first thing that guy said to me for several years after that was, NOPE!

I have one. Serial number G212XX
