Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds FS Winchester M70 Featherweight 270 Stainless/Walnut

Have a Winchester M70 Featherweight, stainless with walnut stock chambered in 270 Winchester for sale. This is a 'controlled round feed' that was still made in the original Winchester plant. I bought it a few years back with the intention of hanging on to it long term. Always thought they were the best looking Winchesters ever made. I installed Leupold bases on it and put a Zeiss 4-14x50 on it. I did take it to the range one time to see what it would actually do. It shot the Federal 130 Ballistic Tips into about a 3/4" group at 100 yards. Nothing else ever done to it so I was very impressed that it shot that good.

The rifle has spent it's life sitting in a gunsock in the rear of the safe. This particular rifle has a dark stock which really contrast well with the stainless action. I've looked it over and do not see any dents or scratches on it. I took quite a few pictures so if you're interested shoot me a PM and I'll send you the pics.

It will come with the original box and the factory supplied lock as well as other paperwork that it was shipped with.

I've got another rifle in mind so this one is up for sale.

Asking $825 plus shipping for it. Rifle comes with the Leupold bases. Scope has already been moved to another rifle and is not for sale.

Need to clarify that this rifle was made in the New Haven plant before it was closed. It is the 'Classic Featherweight' and that as well as New Haven are printed on the barrel.

Very nice!

How about $750 plus shipping?

Beautiful gun.

Thanks, and from the looks of it I might just wind up keeping it. Sold off enough to buy the new one so it'll either bring asking or I keep it... BTW it's even prettier than the pics portray it to be. Someone here mentioned the possibility of it having a Williams bottom but I don't know how to tell. If somebody knows for sure please feel free to join in and tell the rest of us what to look for if it is a Williams or not.

Really a lovely rifle. I am tempted although I really don't need another 270:-) These Win 70s with walnut always look great.
