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.

Sweet! If you don’t mind, what did they charge for the stock…or am I reading it right, that they didn’t charge?!?! Last edited by backtobethel; 03/30/24.

Prior to bases/rings & scope I’m at $480; $400 for the rifle with the busted maple stock and then $80 for the shipping. I wrote on the repair slip that I would like to upgrade to the AAA French Walnut and asked them call me with a price quote…never heard anything. Didn’t even realize this was the AAA French Walnut until this evening.
