Selling a brand new, in the box Winchester model 70 .270 win made about 2 years ago at the new Winchester plant in Columbia SC by FN.. It is the Grade III with the fancier stock. Some more features are the MOA trigger, controlled round feed, and the factory recoil pad. Wood is very nice and it is the featherweight with the schnabel forend. In the photobucket pics I tried to show the difference between the standard stock model 70 and the grade III It has only been out of the box for photos
I am in Tucson AZ If in person, must be of legal age, have valid ID, and sign a bill of sale. If shipping, must go to your FFL, shipping extra. Email: dpr88comcast.net
No offense but the grain does not appear to be that of other Grade III wood from the Winchester series model 70's - for one, that stock is from a slab-sawn blank and not quarter-sawn as most fancy wood stocks are - I would return that to Winchester and ask is it possible that it was mis-labeled and sold has a higher-grade rifle. A dealer that I know had that happen with a New Haven model years ago and returned it to Winchester and they put an unbelievable stock on it at no cost.

Upon looking at several standard Winchester featherweight model 70's produced in the last 6 years, there is no comparison to the grade 3 that I have here.. The standard are all straight grain while this one has very nice, quarter grain throughout... Did you look at the photobucket pictures that I posted?

Not trying to schit on your sale - just trying to help. I've had a pile of these and that is about as average as the wood gets. I second the suggestion of contacting Winchester.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
What is up with everyone? Go look at the Winchester Model 70 website and look at what they sell. Regular featherweight VS the grade III. Grade III from FN which is Browning which is Winchester is exactly what I have for sale. NOT a super grade, not something from 15 years ago, not from an aftermarket supplier. OMG.
