Alright, I stated this thread so I'm going to show you guys the Winchester model 70's I still have in the stable. I guess I'll list them from smallest caliber to largest:
1. Winchshester (WRA made in 1980) XTR 270 fwt with Burris 3-9x40 with ballistic plex reticle in Leupold dual dovetail mounts and rings (lows). Winchester hadn't made a fwt for 17 years (1963). When this one came out in 1981, many Winchester collectors swarmed to purchase these:
2. 1957 (pre 64) 270 fwt in Mcmillan hunters compact stock with 1" red pachmayr decelerator recoil pad, Leupold dual dovetail mounts and rings (mediums), and Zeiss Terra 3-9x42:
3. 5 digit stainless classic sporter 7mm rem mag, in painted and bedded factory Tupperware stock, Leupold dual dovetail mounts and rings (lows), and Nikon 4.5-14x40 with side focus scope:
4. 1956 30-06 fwt, original stock, Leupold dual dovetail mounts and rings (lows), Burris FFII 2-7x35 with ballistic plex reticle scope:
5. 6 digit classic sporter 30-06, cerakoted sniper grey, painted and bedded Tupperware stock. At the moment, it isn't wearing rings or bases and has no scope. I'm thinking about sending it in to JES for a rebore to 9.3x62mm.....:
6. 2008 limited edition fwt 300 wsm, FN BACO manufacture, EW tube, Talley lightweight lows (93702), Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x42 scope, Ernie's trigger spring (2 3/8 pound pull):
7. 1959 338 win mag (Alaskan), Leupold dual dovetail mounts and rings (lows), Burris FFII 3-9x40, pillar and glass bedded factory stock:
