I had a Winchester M-70 Westerner in 30/06 for a very short while. I’m thinking that it had a 26” barrel on it. I remembered it being heavy and ill suited for my type of hunting. I mostly used a climbing stand and stalked. I got a M-70 Carbine in 30/06 (1984 vintage) with a 20” barrel. Suits me to a tee. When you’re packing a Summit Old Man, a pack with your essential gear, a rifle with scope, the pounds add up. My other favorite is a tanger Ruger M-77 RSI in 308. Too pretty to hunt with and bring much more today than the $300 I gave for it. I’ve seen a few her listed in the classified at 3 -4X that in other calibers.

Buy it, buy it. I think the OP wants one with a wood stock though.. Didn’t realize that. OK, I’ll find him one of those. 😔

That is a nice rifle. Seems kinda high in price though for stainless synthetic. I have been toying with the idea of re-stocking one though.

I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

That's a sweet overpriced rifle. Is the bolt on the wrong side for the OP?

Ha ha.. Just looking out for the OP. Plus it's fun messing with you... That's a nice 6 digit classic.

Hey, that is kind of cool. I usually see the stainless BOSS models. I don't think he will get the starting price on that one though. What do you think??

I have a Winchester M70 DBM Sporter Classic with a 26 inch barrel that has a crowned muzzle. Would not trade it for anything (Highly accurate) and consistent. Winchester built if for me in 1994 'One year run only with the DBM). * By the way, the 'Boss' models are worth less. ** My designated DBM 'number' as there were a few contingent upon the set-up. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/xjNCTTyS/Winchester-E-Mag.jpg)

Yes; that’s a rare one. Certainly worth the 3k - perhaps more. I have one, purchased in 94' as you make mention. The only year of manufacture. I've documented everything fully from the Winchester historian Lenny who is no longer there. I have a .300 Winchester Magnum DBM with engraved pistol grip cap made for me by Winchester. I have been thinking of selling lately, but uncertain at the moment. They're rare and the prices are around $3000.00. I have three DBM's with my rifle as an added feature. My Winchester is highly accurate. The generation I believe is the fourth, unsure. I have not followed this for a while. Here is a link where you can find the data and logistics and pricing: "USRAC". * Naturally, made in New Haven, Connecticut. ** And, the magazines have different letter designations as below. http://www.pmulcahy.com/bolt-action_sporting_rifles/us_ba_spr_winchester_m70.htm![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/G20Yxmc3/Winchester-E-Mag.jpg)

Fug that sbwc shiddt..mb While not a 26", or a 7mm rem mag (as the OP was wanting), I'm sure you can reach way out there with that one. Similar to my 308 Norma. Excellent cartridge IMHO..

Why would the 300wm be worth $3,000.00? The DBM models were never that popular. They are rare for a reason.
