Can get one in 30.06 for $400. Bore is good a little rust here and there and very few dings on the stock.

I know it is a bastardized version of the Post-64 Model 70 but how has yours handled the years.

They are the same as a Model 70,but cheaper wood stock and not as good metal finish,but shoot fine. I know a guy that has used one for 20 + years and killed quite a few elk with it.Several years ago he put a nicer Boyd's stock on it though

Which safety does it have?

The standard 3 position Win 70 safety,

BTW: A 670 in 30-06 was my longest serving deer rifle until recently. I gave it to #3 son when he started hunting on his own as an adult, and he loves it as much as I did.

Good gun for $275...

Just saw one at Green Mountain Gun in Lakewood, CO for $275.00, like EthanEdwards said and it was mint. The only reason I didn't buy it was that I had just gotten a Remington 78 in similar condition for a similar price.

Good guns, but $400 is too much.

He's looking at your rifle, or...?

If it has the wing safety, I would value it close to a Model 70 from that era. If it has the older sliding safety, $275 would be a fairer price. The only difference between the wing-safety 670 and the 70A is less metal finishing and a birch stock on the 670.

Should also be a push feed. Had one when I was kid. The stock sucked, turns a 30-06 into a 338 WM.

Otherwise, it was great.

Guys I had a 670 WAY back there in the early 70s. .243 W that shot better than I could.

It had a very nice Walnut stock and I liked the rifle much....

BUT (ahemm) Gunwriters didn't think much of it. More like red head stepchild kinda thing. This was early in my loony development. I didn't know enuff to IGNORE them so I let 'peer pressure' sour my attitude about the rifle.

DUMB mistake ! ! I wish even today I had it back in the condition it was in.

If the stock fits you, then it will be a great rifle.

If it doesn't, it will kick like a mule. Mine didn't fit me so I sold it. Great first rifle though.

I've had three of them. They worked very well for me. The 670 has a slide safety and the 670A has a wing safety. I had a .270 and two .30-06's and they were great guns.

It is a 670A. They will let it go for $350 so I will pick it up Friday.







As usual thanks one and all for your input.

Yeah, I'd buy it for that.

I see 670s every now and then, not bad guns, just dont get much attention.

Winchester had a 770 too. Although I don't remember ever seeing one.

Saw one in .243 at a gun show.

I have one in a 225. It isn't as nice as either the 270 I bought for a brother, or the 30-06 I've had for years, but it still works.

I never knew they came in .225 Win. Learn something new every day! That would be one I would snag.

I bought a 670 in 30-06 when I was 16 for $150 and put an $80 Bushnell Banner on it. The Banner crapped out after 4 years of use so I put a Leupold Vari-X ll on it. With carefully assembled 180g Nosler Partitions it would shoot 5 shot dime size groups at 100 yards repeatably. I finally sold it to a cousin because I never would use the other rifles I had acquired. It just fit and I shot it well.

If you had a 670 with a walnut stock it was a replacement. I had a 670 in 06 that was the most accurate 06 I have ever owned. Shot it out and moved on. Had a 243that scked

It certainly 'looked' Walnut, however this was EARLY in my loonyism so it could have been a stain. It was convincing enuff I didn't question it.

It did NOT look anything like the CHEAP hardwood stocks on R 788 that I had.

No harm, No foul

Jerry

Could it have been a 670 A ?

It's been TOO long for my memory.

Jerry

670A had the wing safety but it was still a Birch stock.

Lol, saw the same one. Small world.

Which ever I had then - it was stained very well. I still remember the stock looked very nice. I really thot it was walnut.

interesting, curious - water LONG UNDER the bridge - of no consequence.

Thnx

Jerry

The 70A had a blind mag, as did all the 670s as far as I'm aware. Some 670s had slide safeties; some had wing. I can't say I've seen one stamped 670A and don't have any idea what it may differentiate.

The 670A was stamped that way and it denoted a wing safety.

It must be kind of random like some other manufacturers; my first 670, a winged version, has no "A" in the rollmark. Perhaps the "A"s always had the 3-way safety, and the plain 670s had either depending on what was available and when?

I almost bought one (670) as they were being discontinued,. but there were none in a caliber I wanted.

Interesting. I thought all wing safety 670's were marked "670A". Oh well, there doesn't seem to be many hard and fast rules in the firearms world.

i collect both 670's and sears 53's. both are 70's in drag.
the 53's generally have a much finer finish and hinged floor plate. have never seen a 670 marked "a" . not saying they aren't out there just have never ran across one.
i have sold my 70's and kept one 670 and one 53 both in aftermarket stocks. my 53 will put 165's into .5 inch if i do my part.
