WOW!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Four years Older than me and absolutely gorgeous. Ok youngins this is what a real rifle is supposed to look like. You may have to explain that scope base to some, not me but some. If I knew my wife of 38 years wouldn’t shoot me it would have a new home. This is like finding a split window Corvette with 200 miles on it.

I have a '53 Supergrade in 30-06 with a Leupold atop it.. .Love that thing. 

Also have a pre-64 that's been rebarreled to .257 Bob.  

I'd love to see pictures of your 375.

So, I have held this Model 70 and I have to say, it is Cherry. The action felt smooth as butter. The glass was clear and in great shape.  If it was for a lefty, I might have been tempted.

And Mike was great to deal with.

Is the wood refurbished? 

[Snaveba]

I’m not an expert or anything, but it didn’t feel or look refinished to me. 

[Charles Wonder]

Thanks, just feel that a 70 year old rig should have some scratch on the wood unless the owner really baby it. 

[Snaveba]

I got the impression from talking with Mike that his FIL liked to collect and appreciate the rifles, but was not a hunter or really a shooter.

There are in fact some people that take care of firearms and not knock them around like some common tool.

The Winchester Model 70 is an American Classic. It was designed with function, form and fit!. I agree with Garufa, there are people who collect firearms and appreciate, especially the old one's,  the workmanship of of a generation of craftsman.

Wish I was a righty GLWS!

I bought the Marlin Model 60 from this collection and the firearm looks like it just came off the factory floor, from 1960.

 

[Charles Wonder]

Well, seems like a lot of people are endorsing it, so PM sent. If there is a deal,  Will have to remove some Cz and Staccato later to balance the book of the wife

[Snaveba]

Whelp, I think someone beat you to the punch in the Model 70

[Overseas Living]

Thanks for the interest in the .270, It has been sold to the next caretaker.

Just to clarify I didn’t have the luck, someone else got it before me.
