Those are three very nice pre-64 Model 70's, I enjoy looking at them, but aren't you afraid you are going to wear out your camera?

Ps Now you need an action shot of each rifle, with you holding it while you are out using it. That is my favorite type of rifle picture - here is an example of one of my pre-64 Model 70's: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/Buck_Model_70.JPG)

Nice looking rifles-what year did Winchester stop using the aluminum buttplates? I like the aluminum buttplates on the old Winchesters and Remingtons from the 50s. PH

The 88 debuted with a plastic plate in 1955.
The 70 FWT got plastic plate on late 1958 early 1959
