Now that's a beauty!
Where did you get it?
In use for hunting?
it's been in my collection for a long time. I have never shot it, and it appears unfired. It had a 13 page thread About it discussing weather or not to shoot it. http://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/6394324/1

I have a clear and loud opinion on that And I think those who once made that rifle would agree.

I really didn't know if I wanted to post this one or not it doesn't match up to all these nice pre-64s on here. The 'bastid' Model 70. Circa 2001, pushfeed, New Haven, 7mm RM. I call it 'Thumper' or 'Black Death'. Notice the Bubba Budy for added 'bastid' effect.

I finally recieved my Edge for my Pre 64 270. Looks good but still needs work. Bedding and etc.
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

I picked up another Pre'64 Model 70 a couple weeks ago so I thought it was time for a photo op. Top to bottom. 1960 action, 24" Shilen in 308 Norma. McMillan Supergrade stock, 3.5-10X Leupy. 1958 Fwt in 243 with 2.5-8X Leupy, stock refinished. 1959 Fwt in 30-06 with 2.5-8X Leupy 1951 270 with old custom stock(Fajen?)& 2.5-8 B&L in adjustable mount. Recently acquired 1952 beater in 30-06, this was a 270 with a bulged barrel in which I installed a '46 barrel in 30-06. Can't find anything else that "feels" like a Pre'64 M70.... Looking for more...

Found a sweet deal on a Win 70 Stainless Ultimate Shadow (claw extractor/bottom metal/classic trigger/odd but light stock)in 7mm WSM for $475. Not sure how I'm going to outfit her yet or what loads to start working up, but I've got a few more months

Ok, I need to show off my new to me Pre 64 model 70. 375 H&H. Just put on the leupold VX3 1.5-5x20 in the steel Leupold bases and rings the other day. It's my dream rifle : I also had my 30-06 classic sporter cerekoted in sniper grey: [img] http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/007-43.jpg[/img] [img] http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/005-57.jpg[/img] And slapped a different scope on my FN PBR XP 300 wsm which is a souped up winchester model 70 classic action: [img] http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x401/chiefbsa/004-64.jpg[/img] Been busy with my winchesters lately

Here's a '55 Super Grade 30/06 National Match which I recently took to WY. It's wearing a Leupold 2.5-8x36 with Talley lows. Eric

Does the front sight ramp have a groove for a sight hood? Do you have any kind of documentation showing that it left the factory that way or that it isn't a National Match in a SG stock? Regardles it's a beautiful rifle and if it's factory I give you credit for actually taking a rifle like that out in the field.

Eric, that's a beauty. I like your choice in scope and mounts too. Looks good!

Bob, I wouldn't kick a brazilian super model out of bed. I don't care if she was wearing combat boots....Oh wait, wrong forum sorry guys... Carry on with your beautiful winchester model 70s

Thanks, Reelman! Bob, I love your analogy. I'm with BSA. If she's a Brazilian Super model I don't care what she's wearing on her feet!
