Is anybody familiar with any M-70 Winchester forums?
Point me there, please...

There are some very knowledgeable Winchester collectors here.
A while back I was looking for info on a M70 7mm Mauser made around 1990 or so. There just doesn't seem to be anything like this forum out there. To bad as they are very interesting rifles.
I haven't had any trouble with them, nor heard of any trouble from anyone else. All it is is a piece of spring steel.ome say that the claw extractors (M-'98 type) are cheaply made on the Classic models made in recent years, and need replacing. Is there anything to that, or is someone just trying to sell replacement parts?

I'm interested in the BOSS settings for a .308 Winchester Model 70 with a BOSS-CR, using Hornady Superformance 165-gr.
Somebody gave me the settings for the 165-grain old Light Magnum in Boat Tail Soft point years and years ago -- and I didn't even have to tweak the BOSS. All I had to do was set it -- and my rifle was unbelievably dead-on. It saved a lot of ammo -- for sure!!!!!!!
I could put 10 rounds at 100 yards in the size of quarter to half dollar.
You can't find the Light Magnums anymore -- and I'm hoping the new Superformance shoots about the same.
I'm down to my last 12 rounds of Light Magnum -- and would love to just be able to dial the BOSS-CR a few ticks -- and make the switch to Superformance.
(If I can't get the info here, I'll try Hornady -- or see whether the main Winchester headquarters has the settings.)
Any idea why Hornady dropped the Light Magnum? I thought it made sense!
