Well I just got my $480 Winchester Model 70 Supergrade in 30-06 back.
In January I posted an ad on Aldeer that I was looking for a Model 70 Supergrade but I ideally didn’t really want a maple stock
Gentleman sent me a message “Here’s my number, give me a call.”
He proceeded to tell me that he had a brand new Maple Supergrade that has a snapped stock, I say what do you want for it, tells me $400
I immediately jump on it as I knew I could figure out a stock option later.
At this point all I knew was that it was new but I didn’t know the production year.
I call up Winchester, give them the serial to ask for the year it was made, they tell me it was made in 2022 and to send it in for a stock replacement.
Head to the postoffice, send it off to their St Louis repair shop. That runs $80 with shipping&insurance
Gun gets stuck in Montgomery, AL for 2 weeks,(I thought for certain it was stolen)before I started making a major stink. It arrived 2 days after me getting ugly.
Originally it was supposed to arrive in 3 days.
On the repair sheet, I made a note that I would love if they switched the stock to Walnut.
Just got it back this morning.
This is the first Winchester I’ve ever owned.
I need to figure out what rings/scope I want to go with.
