This is a great thread. Let's keep it going with more pics of some nice old Winchester model 70's. Here's my latest: A 1981 XTR fwt 270win. I bought it a couple weeks ago and it was never fired by the original owner. Factory fired and still had the packing grease in it and original box. Don't worry guys, I took care of the firing part the other day. I'm sure I'll take it on many more range sessions and probably even a few hunts: Scoped with an older American made Burris FFII 3-9x40 with ballistic plex reticle in Leupold dual dovetail gloss low mounts and rings. After consulting with 79s here, I decided to snag this one.
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

Cool looking rifle bsa, I like the mounts. Here's one I've been playing with. A supergrade Win. 70 in 338 WM. It's ser. # G166XX, anyone know the approx. date of manufacture? It's a nice shooter with the 210 TSX's but I haven't had any luck with the partitions...210's or 250's. Yet..... Scoped with a Burris 3x9 E1. I bedded the lug, tuned the trigger and it doesn't show in the pic but I've since installed a Williams extractor.

Very nice rifle Sendero. Looks like an excellent shooter too. 5 digit classic is probably a '92-'93 DOM rifle.

I look forward to seeing those "baby dolls". I mean the rifles, not the feet/toes

No toes, but not the best photos, 52' std SS barrel 220 Swift with a 10X unertl vulture, I plan on shooting this on side by side with a 59' swift in the Varminter that is a tackdriver, This gun was bought by a long time 70 guy new in 52, scoped and zeroed and sat in a safe till I bought it. the fellow got very old and knew it was time to pass the guns on. I hope I know when that time comes, I hope this one can go into the 'Do not sale' safe! very best WinPoor

How about some M70s chambered for H&H rounds? 375 on left and two 300s on right.

Thanks, Hornet. The .375 supposedly has been fired 12 times, which believe from its condition.
