Winchester Model 70 ?

[Guest samcro]

Hello Folks,

I just got a .243 in the Winchester Model 70 , tapered Barrel , blue, Short action Bolt , with a Monty Carlo stock . was wondering what I can do to it as for Custom work to increase the looks & performance. I have a Nice Nikon Monarch 2.5 X 10 X 42 M BDC to put on it .However i have yet to do so due to Lasik 3 days ago . 2 Piece weaver rail and Mounts . can post photos if needed .

The model 70 is perfect just as it comes. What on earth are you wanting to do to it?

Check with Stuart Mayes in Manchester, TN for custom stock work. For a different "factory" stock, take a look at CDNN. They have several different factory stocks for the Mod. 70.

I have had great success with factory Mod. 70 stocks as far as performance is concerned. Only the target stocks were bedded. I did replace the stock on my pre 64' in 30.06 with a Bell & Carlson fiberglass stock and had it bedded. It shoots a little better but, produced 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds in the factory stock that wasn't bedded.

Great rifle and a very good caliber!

The model 70 has an easy to adjust trigger. I don't remember where I found the info to adjust, but it was a simple step by step procedure. The best thing was it cost $0 to do.
