Transition .375 with no provision for a rear sight and a low comb. This rifle has a Lyman 48 that the stock is cut out for. IMO this shows that Winchester did indeed send out rifles with cuts in it for the Lyman 48 because if this rifle was special ordered without a rear sight but still having a front sight wouldn't you think it also came with the peep sight?

Second from the top is a 308 stainless Featherweight with a BOSS on it. The glass stocked rifle is an FNA3G which is built on a controlled round M70 action. The bottom rifle is my go to hunting rifle, a 1953 300H&H.

I know a terrible picture but we've all seen what a standard grade M70 looks like but the interesting thing about this one is that it's a standard grade 358Win without sights or sight dovetail cut. The only 358's Winchester ever listed were Featherwieghts. I have studied this model for 45 years and am constantly amazed at the unlisted oddities that are out in the world. I think I speak for myself and other when asking to see more pictures of this odd rifle.

The rifle is in a safe at my brothers house as mine are all full so I moved some over there but I really should get some better pictures of it although like I said it's a pretty normal looking standard grade except for the caliber and the no sights on it. It has a 24" barrel like a normal standard grade.

Verry nice buddy. Did they look at you funny after you took it out of the safe and started taking pictures of it . Pretty cool ol gun (made around early april of '57). Have you shot it?
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

No it hasn't been shot in probably 30 years. I'm not set up to load for it and factory ammo around here has always been $110-$120 a box and never wanted to spend that kind of money to just shoot it. I know my great grandpa killed a mulie with it in Colorado a long time ago. I might have to pick up some dies and brass and try to kill something with it next year!

Damn guys, this should be a sticky. When I started this thread, I hoped Rick Bin would make it one since it seems fitting. Well, I got bored and slapped my Stainless classic sporter 7mm Rem mag in my brown stone texture painted stock off of my 30-06 (new haven). I switched the scope out since I wanted something a little lighter and went with a leupold VX1 4-12x40 with long range duplex reticle. In all, my 7mm lost 1/2 a pound and looks better in the process. I'll bet she still shoots lights out too .....: I'm down to 8 winchesters now: From left to right: First year FWT (308 win) W/Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x42 in steel Talley mounts/rings, 1956 FWT 30-06 W/3.5-10x44 Zeiss Conquest in steel Talley mounts/rings, 1956 375 H&H W/Leupold VX3 1.5-5x20 and Leupold detachable rings, Stainless/syntetic classic sporter 7mm rem mag W/Leupold VX1 4-12x40 and LR duplex reticle in Talley lightweights, Sniper grey cerakoted 30-06 classic sporter in a custom left hand thumbhole stock with talley lightweights and Bausch and Lomb elite 4200 2.5-10x40, 2008 limited edition FWT W/Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 W/CDS and Leupold DD's with 300 wsm Extreme Weather barrel slapped on for good measure, 30-06 Extreme Weather with Mcmillan hunters compact edge, talley lightweights and Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 with CDS, FN PBR XP 300 WSM (New haven built) W/Nikon Monarch X Tactical 4-16x50 in TPS rings......All of these are excellent shooters and highly dependable. Nothing like a winchester model 70!!!!

Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
