Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Pre-64 M70 with unusual scope mounting system

Winpoor's analogy question of "just how many have ridden this thing!!!" is good sense in general, but does kind of fall apart on the rifle that started this thread. That rifle looks like it had that crazy mount put on it when new and then the whole deal spent most its time in a closet.

It was probably a state of the art mount when new, the best of the best. My how things change over time.

That gun would make a fine hunting gun, Im willing to bet it has had less than a 100 rounds thru it! I would want to be in there at about 700 max, put yourself a good 4.5x14 x 40mm AO -leupold and never miss a whitetail till the end of days! very best WinPoor

Thanks gents for all the leads, ideas, and comments!

Yep, I drive Toyotas and just donated my 22 year old Corolla,never a problem except one Bendix spring and it was in BC mountains a lot.

Had a 84 4 cyl 4x4 for 11.5 years of harsh use and it was running like a good watch when some subhuman stole it....cant beat em, my new 2014 Taco SR5 4x4 is nicer on the freeway than most cars and is a GOAT on 100+ yr old mining trails.

Now, I *think* that mount, have seen ONE 50s .300H&H drilled for it, may have come from Kesselrings or maybe Kuharsky and back when I was a kid, guys modded guns as they were and ARE tools.

I bedded my once unfired Alaskan .338 as it cracked and I need to use it, then put it into a good synthetic.
