Could be all that retro Roy chamber work is why there are so few original, unadulterated pre-64 .300 H&H M-70's in the world, thus the premium for a good one.

There is a pre-64 Mod 70 .300 H&H puched out to 300 mag at the ORVIS store in Hannover PA. It has been there for at least 5 years gathering dust.... I've never seen a pre-64 Mod 70 in .300 H&H on offer.

Just for clarification all my rechambering talk was pure comical, I would never molest this #1S in such a way, and damn sure not do the same to my Pre-64 300 H&H. shocked grin

You're a good man, Gunner. A purist when it comes to such things.

And, I'm not believing all the stuff I hear about you... blush

That'll work, bring 'em both, I'm gonna bring two big meat boxes and take two hogs this year.

I had one, and it shot very well.

I had a No. 1 .300 H&H for a while, and it shot just as well as Gunner's. I intended to keep it--but then ran into a pre-'64 Model 70 Winchester in good but "hunting" shape (didn't want a collector) at close to the same price I could get for the Ruger....

Ya'll know how it is.


Of course, one could do this:

and only 10 rounds fired...

Classy rifle there Gunrunner. Real nice choice of cartridge.

I'm kind of hung up on Number One rifles - really should get another one or two...

great post gunner. I really like my #1 300 H&H,it's more accurate than I am. So for I have only shot 165 gr. and 220 gr. bullets out of mine.
