Almost joined the win 70 cult tonight...again
Although I have a I have a few Winchester levers in my arsenal (1886 1873 etc) I currently do not own a model 70. I was touring Sportsmans warehouse tonight and there it was. A poor ole lonely model 70 controlled round feed claw extractor in 270 Winchester. Nice stock to boot. I say lonely because it is the last Classic they had and on clearance. Under 600.00 and of course new in box. I left her there but she has been on my mind. I do not know how many rifles I have but what the heck can I do with a 270 win that I can not do with all the overlapping calibers I already have? Darn decisions 😕 I sure feel bad about leaving her there though
I got rid of the last model 70 I had, last year. Model 70 classic 338wm. Had the boss system and a 26 inch tube. I thought about whacking a few inches off the barrel but ended up trading it on a Sako of the same caliber and a shorter barrel.
I’ve been pining them in the gun stores ever since.
It is a good thing you left it there. If a man has Winchester model 70 in 270 he can probably sell 90% of his rifles. You dodged a bullet I think.
Damn! Less than $600 for a NIB Mod 70 Classic? That is a hell of a good deal 👍....Hb

You're definitely not helping
60.5gr of RL26 145gr ELD-X and don’t look back. That good ol 270 will be a laser.
Can't have too many M70s in .270...

Get back there and buy it.... Dang....
Buy it Fotis! Every extensive arsenal needs at least one M70
Hopefully it’s not too late to right the wrong!

The field of dreams whisper voice is telling you to go back and buy it for a reason...

Fotis, are you still making a MISTAKE ?
I hope you have it by now.

What velocity are you getting with that load
I have owned so many 70's I have lost count, I have not kept any of them.

Bittersweet feeling. Someone bought a thank God
I never owned a Mod 70. I had no need for one, as I have never had a love affair with ANY particular brand of rifle. I recently got one (early 90s model) on a trade. It had a crap scope which I use to test it with. It shoot extremely well with Hornady Whitetail ammo. The scope went south quickly and I put an SWFA 6x on it. It is a damn fine rifle, with a great scope. I will sell it, if somebody comes along that needs a good rifle, as I have gobs of others, BUT I am in no hurry. It is a great rifle-for a right-handed one!
Bittersweet feeling. Someone bought a thank God
Somehow I suspect you will be fine

Dang it! I would’ve had you snatch it up and I’d have grabbed it on my way through in a month
Lol. Did not think about it Scott
Never turn down a good deal on a Winchester M70.
